Details: Another Lithuanian military volunteer, who goes by the alias Jara and who served alongside Valentėlis, reported his death.

"It all happened overnight. Tomas's documents and personal belongings were not found – it's possible he had already been searched by the enemy," he said.

Tomas's father, Dainius Valentėlis, confirmed the information to the broadcaster.
