'Blind spots': May drone alert highlights poor access to air raid shelters for Lithuanians

The National Audit Office's report from last year reveals that only 53% of Lithuania's population had access to air raid shelters by the end of 2024, highlighting a significant gap in protective infrastructure. This issue came to the forefront following a May drone alert, underscoring the urgent need for improved access to safety shelters. This situation is critical, especially given the geopolitical tensions in the region, as adequate protection measures are vital for national security and public safety. The findings suggest that more needs to be done to ensure all citizens are safeguarded against potential threats.
