The national sericulture sector has achieved a major production milestone, successfully concluding the seasonal harvest. Agricultural tenants across various regions contributed significantly to the state's economic capacity by delivering over 2,100 tons of high-quality raw silk to procurement centers.

The outcomes of this extensive agricultural campaign and the fulfillment of contractual obligations were formally announced during a virtual government meeting. The Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers overseeing the agrarian sector, alongside regional governors, presented a detailed report to the state leadership, which was subsequently broadcasted on the main news program "Watan."

During the video conference, official congratulations were extended to the state leadership on behalf of all agricultural workers. The successful realization of the production targets was highlighted as a crucial step forward in advancing the national import substitution strategy and expanding the light industry sector.

The Head of State expressed sincere appreciation to the rural laborers for their dedicated efforts toward ensuring the country's raw material security. It was specifically noted that the expertise of local silk farmers not only guarantees the fulfillment of state orders but also preserves the historical traditions of textile manufacturing.

Seismic First: Scientists Officially Confirm Natural Earthquakes in Lithuania

The Geological Survey of Lithuania, supported by seismologists from the University of Helsinki, has officially confirmed the occurrence of natural tectonic earthquakes within the country’s borders for the first time. The seismic events, measuring 2.4 and 2.7 on the magnitude scale, occurred in western Lithuania near the Gargždai fault zone in December 2025. Furthermore, updated analysis of international seismic data allowed experts to reclassify a previously ambiguous 2015 tremor as a natural earthquake rather than human-induced activity.

Although the low-intensity quakes caused no structural damage or casualties, they mark the first instrumentally verified natural tectonic events recorded in modern Lithuanian history.
