It codes the incident as unknown, apparent goal unknown, target unknown, location Poland, Lithuania, Germany; the dataset dates it only to July 2024, 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.
