Prague: The Czech intelligence chief warned on Monday that it is more likely that a NATO member state could face a limited attack aimed at testing the alliance's response, rather than a large-scale Russian assault, according to Czech Radio.

According to Anadolu Agency, Czech Security Information Service (BIS) Director Michal Koudelka stated at a security conference in the Czech Chamber of Deputies that a member state of NATO, probably in the Baltic region, could be targeted to assess the alliance's response. Koudelka emphasized that Europe is not currently facing the threat of a massive attack similar to Russia's war in Ukraine but noted the potential for a different scenario.

Koudelka urged Western countries to maintain unity, highlighting the importance of a clear and firm stance to deter potential aggression. He stressed the necessity of declaring unity and determination to defend against threats as a deterrent to Russian aggression.

Furthermore, Koudelka advised against over-reliance on Russian assurances or overreacting to threats, advocating for assessments to be made with courage and a level-headed approach.
