Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda has warned that a series of recent anti-Muslim attacks in the country may not be isolated or spontaneous incidents, suggesting they could be coordinated.
"Recurrence of incidents ... leads me to believe that these are not random outbursts of emotion," Nausėda said, according to Anadolu Agency, though he did not specify who might be behind the pattern.
The president's comments point to growing concern among Lithuanian officials about a string of attacks targeting the country's Muslim community, though specific details about the number, location and nature of the incidents were not provided in the available report.
Lithuanian authorities have not announced the opening of a formal investigation into possible coordination behind the attacks, based on available information.
