State to Compensate 75–90% of Losses from Military Incidents
The Latvian government has approved a new regulation providing state compensation of 75 to 90 percent for losses caused by military incidents, including drone attacks, during peacetime.
The Latvian government approved a new regulation on Saturday, June 27, during a mobile cabinet meeting in Latgale. The rules, prepared by the Ministry of Justice, establish a uniform procedure for compensating losses caused by military incidents during peacetime. This includes damage from drone strikes and other military activities that harm private property.
Under the regulation, the state will cover between 75% and 90% of direct losses. The maximum compensation of 90% applies when the property is insured against military risks or if such insurance is not available on the market. Without insurance, the compensation is set at 75%.
The regulation aims to provide a clear and predictable system for citizens and businesses affected by military incidents. According to the Ministry of Justice, the rules were drafted in response to growing security threats and the need for a legal framework in this area. The decision was unanimous.
