The Lithuanian army and NATO allies have started the complex exercise “Thunderstorm 2024”. Together with the state institutions, the soldiers simulate the transition from peace to wartime, preparation for the activities of war commandants, and mutual interaction.
On May 6-8, the composite part of the national exercises – “Thunder Bastion 2024” will be held in Kaunas. Soldiers and equipment will move intensively in the city, and imitation means (ammunition or pyrotechnics) will be used. The most intensive exercises will take place at strategically important objects in the centro, Petrašiūnai, Eigulių and Aleksots precincts.
From May 7 until 8 in the evening morning curfew will be introduced in Palemons micro-district, Petrašiūnai ward. In this exercise, the soldiers will practice the interaction between the police and the commando unit. The movement of residents will not be restricted, but any transport may be stopped and checked.
