Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.
The dataset records hundreds of bomb threats in Russian emailed to schools in the three Baltic states, and notes that Lithuania's security service blamed hostile states without naming Russia. It codes the incident as terrorism, apparent goal disrupt daily life, target public space: Shopping centre / Memorial / Landmark / Company / School, location Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania; the dataset dates it only to October 2023, so the date shown is the first of the month. The Leiden dataset includes incidents linked to Russia by officials, incidents fitting a pattern of officially suspected attacks, or incidents backed by journalistic evidence, and its authors call the data speculative and subject to change.
