🇱🇹 Lithuania has launched large-scale mobilization drills, including a scenario of a military invasion from Belarus
The annual exercise “Dome of Vytis 2026” is meant to test how the country would respond to a worsening security situation and a shift to wartime mobilization.
About 3,000 officials, state institutions, companies, and NGOs, plus about 1,000 volunteers, will take part through October 3, LRT reported.
The drills will also include an evacuation of residents of Vilnius and municipalities near the Belarusian border under a potential invasion scenario.
On September 29, authorities will test public warning systems: sirens, emergency alerts to mobile phones, and the LT72 emergency-preparedness app.
