Lithuania's Radiation Protection Centre reported no changes in radiation levels following the shutdown of a reactor at the Astravyets Nuclear Power Plant in Belarus. The reactor was disconnected from the grid due to an alarm about a cooling system anomaly. Authorities in Lithuania stated they are monitoring the situation and have not detected any emissions affecting their country. The plant, located near the Lithuanian border, has faced safety criticism. Lithuanian officials have not received official information from Belarus about the incident, relying instead on media reports.
