The first air attack drill was held at the Seimas Palace in Vilnius on Tuesday.
The aim of the drill was to test the evacuation of people from the parliament’s buildings 1 and 2 to a shelter within 10 minutes.
Around a hundred people, including MPs, their aides, and journalists, were directed to the basements of building 1, where they were informed about the drill, air raid alert levels, and first aid.
Seimas Deputy Speaker Paulius Saudargas simulated being injured. Seimas Speaker Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen was evacuated separately.
According to the drill organisers, they managed to get everyone into the shelter within 10 minutes.
The shelter in the Seimas Palace and the emergency direct exit were also tested for the first time.
