Latvia boosts guard at dam, gas storage over Russian threat

Latvia’s Prime Minister has identified two critical sites now under increased security: a natural gas storage facility and a dam located upstream of the capital, Riga. The move comes in response to what officials describe as a heightened threat from Russia. The dam, which holds back a major reservoir, and the gas storage site are considered vital to national energy and water safety. Authorities have not disclosed specific security measures but confirmed that additional personnel and patrols are in place.
