Lithuania: Russians Orchestrated 2024 Parcel Bombings in Europe

In 2024, several parcel bombs exploded in Europe.

Investigations by Lithuanian authorities suggest that Russian citizens with connections to military intelligence organized these attacks.

Two coordinators, Daniil Gromov and Tomas Dovgan Stabacinskas, allegedly oversaw the bombings, which involved explosive devices hidden in massage pillows.

The parcels were mailed from Vilnius.

One caught fire at an airport in Germany, while others exploded in Poland and England.

The organizers recruited individuals via the Telegram app and paid them in cryptocurrency.

Authorities have charged 15 people, including citizens from multiple countries.

The Lithuanian government says that these bombings were a test run for a Russian plot to trigger explosions on cargo flights to the United States.
