Two dead after cyclone hits Baltic countries

A powerful cyclone struck the Baltic countries, resulting in two deaths and leaving over 500,000 people without electricity. In Latvia, one person died when part of a building collapsed, while another fatality occurred in Lithuania due to a fallen tree. Strong winds exceeding 67 mph were reported in Riga, with significant rainfall affecting the region. Public transportation, including rail services and ferry operations, faced disruptions. The storm also impacted north-eastern Poland, where over 100,000 lost power. Experts noted that while climate change's role cannot be definitively assessed, it may have contributed to increased rainfall. Conditions are expected to improve by Monday.
