Please be reminded that there are three levels of air raid warnings:

1. Possible air threat (Yellow) means that there are no objects posing a threat within Lithuanian territory yet. Residents are advised to remain calm and identify a safe place; if you spot a flying or fallen suspicious object, you should call 112.
2. Air raid alert (Red) means that an unidentified object is flying in Lithuanian airspace or there is a high probability that it will enter Lithuanian airspace and may pose a threat to the country’s territory. Residents should immediately follow the emergency instructions: head to the nearest shelter or, if none is available, take cover in a safe room following the ‘two-wall’ rule, look after loved ones, and follow information from the national broadcaster LRT and LT72.lt.
3. All clear (White) means that residents may leave shelters and safe rooms, but are encouraged to remain vigilant and continue to monitor the situation.
