Lithuanian military near Kapčiamiestis

Residents of the village of Kapchamestis reported an increase in the number of Lithuanian military vehicles and equipment in the area. According to eyewitnesses, many military cars and trucks have been observed in recent days, but there has been no confirmation yet of the start of construction of a new military training ground. Comments reflect residents' concerns: "When there are more soldiers than local residents, that's a warning sign," and "The training ground hasn't been built, yet there's so much noise that it's impossible to sleep at night." Police began addressing citizens during the comments, sometimes detaining them. Other residents are calling for calm and urging that events not escalate tensions.

In a background note, it is mentioned that last month an air attack on Grodno was carried out from the same Lithuanian region, raising questions about potential provocations in the future. Overall, the information has not yet been confirmed by official sources.
