VILNIUS, July ‌15 (Reuters) - Information from NATO ​member nations, including Lithuania and Latvia, ⁠shows that Russia has made various attempts to conduct sabotage, Latvian ​president Edgars Rinkevics said on Wednesday.

"Information ‌we are getting from Lithuanian, Latvian and other NATO states, from various ⁠agencies there, shows ⁠various attempts to do sabotage and to lower the security in our states," Rinkevics said at ‌a press conference with his Lithuanian ⁠counterpart Gitanas Nauseda ‌in Vilnius.

Rinkevics did ​not specify which countries the attempts had been directed at.

Lithuania has ‌intelligence that Russia is ​planning attacks ⁠on infrastructure, and the Baltic ‌nation will ⁠tighten security around energy and transport sites as a precaution, Nauseda said ​in an ‌interview published earlier on Wednesday.
