Explained in plain English

What is a 'limited attack'?

A 'limited attack' suggests an assault that doesn't aim for full-scale war but rather a specific, contained objective. This could involve a targeted land incursion or a significant cyberattack, as mentioned in the leaked intelligence. The US ambassador's call for preparedness reflects the need for NATO to be ready for various forms of aggression, not just a traditional invasion.
