"Conexus Baltic Grid" vadītājs: Par gāzes infrastruktūras drošību tiek gādāts
Gadījumi, kad pie Inčukalna gāzes krātuves aizturēti droni, nav bieži. Laikā, kad Latvija atslēdzās no BRELL tīkla, tika aizturēts bezpilota lidaparāta operators, un tas līdz šim bijis vienīgais šāds gadījums. Tā intervijā saka "Conexus Baltic Grid” valdes priekšsēdētājs Uldis Bariss. Viņš norāda, ka pēc pirmsšķietamas informācijas tas bijis „miermīlīgs” drons. Par infrastruktūras drošību uzņēmumā tiekot gādāts.
