Ministers from countries bordering the Baltic Sea have agreed on a rapid response force to counter hybrid threats. Meanwhile, the far-right AfD has failed to topple a state premier. DW has more updates from Germany.
Germany's Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt announced plans to establish a new security task force during a Baltic summit, with the aim of enhancing collective drone defense capabilities in the region. The leaders from Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden, Norway, and Ireland discussed urgent security policy issues, including hybrid threats such as drone attacks, cyber attacks, spying, disinformation, arson attacks, covert operations, and the use of disposable agents.
The task force's goal is to investigate, deter, and defend against these hybrid threats more quickly, transforming the Baltic region from a collective risk area into a collective defensive area.
