Lithuanian authorities have found no evidence of terrorism or sabotage in the investigation of a DHL cargo plane crash near Vilnius airport, although the black boxes containing flight data and voice recordings have not yet been recovered. The crash occurred early on Monday as the plane was attempting to land, resulting in the death of one person on board.

Germany's foreign minister later suggested that the incident could have been either an accident or part of a hybrid attack, given the current global tensions. However, the Lithuanian General Prosecutor’s office, which is leading one of two official investigations, stated that there is no immediate indication of foul play.

Prosecutor Arturas Urbelis confirmed that the initial findings do not point to any deliberate action, saying, “Our initial information does not indicate that we need to be investigating more serious actions.” He added that the investigation is still ongoing, and further signs of different causes may emerge as it continues.
