Lithuania and Latvia have begun exercises on the mass evacuation of the population in the event of war. According to the scenario, due to the growing military threat in the Baltic region, there is a need to urgently transfer people to a neighboring country. Up to 100 volunteers participate in the exercises. Today they are transferred from the Latvian Daugavpils to the Lithuanian Pasvalis. On November 10, the evacuation will take place in the opposite direction - from the Lithuanian Siauliai to the Latvian Kekba. At the same time, the European Commission published recommendations on preparing for major crises. EU residents are advised to have water, food, medicine and other essentials for at least 72 hours, so that they can cope without external assistance for the first three days of an emergency. Meanwhile, a wave of false reports of bombs on planes swept across Europe. On November 5 alone, threats affected at least 18 flights. Several planes had to change course, and one flight was sent to a French military air base. European authorities are investigating what happened.
