Lithuanian police spokesman Ramunas Matonis confirmed that the petrol bomb attacks on the Russian embassy in Vilnius occurred on April 7 and April 8, between 2 and 3 a.m. local time.
One of the building’s walls was damaged, Matonis added.
Investigators have not yet identified any suspects and there is no evidence to suggest a motive behind the attacks.
The city’s police force is considering increasing security outside the Russian embassy. According to local press, the compound is often guarded by police during the day, while the entrances are constantly monitored by cameras.
Lithuania, which strongly backs Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, has long accused Moscow of pursuing hostile policies and threatening national security.
