Lithuania has unveiled what it calls its first counter-mobility park in the country's east, part of the Baltic Defence Line slowly taking shape on NATO's eastern frontier. The area features roadblocks, various barriers and 'dragon's teeth' anti-tank obstacles. "If we want to defend ourselves efficiently we have to set up this system.

If this cut is confirmed, defence researcher Alain de Neve of the Royal Military Academy of Belgium warns that the impact will not be negligible. "Obviously, this will have an impact, especially in financial terms. As for concrete military aid in terms of equipment supplied, we can see that Poland is a...

Ukraine's forces have destroyed the final bridge over the Seym river located in the village of Karyzh in Russia's Kursk region, according to Russian officials. The bridge is the third one destroyed, after Kyiv damaged the first bridge 16 kilometres northwest of the main battle zone in Kursk in late August, and the second in Zvannoe on Sunday. The bridge was the last major crossing in the region, and its destruction means that Russian forces will struggle to get supplies and reinforcements into an area of about 700 square kilometres. Russian units on the southern side of the river will now be d...
