Letonia e în alertă după ce bărbați mascați și înarmați au trecut ilegal granița dinspre Belarus și au furat camere de supraveghere

Armed individuals from Belarus entered Latvia, damaging equipment and stealing surveillance cameras. They previously attempted to smuggle migrants into Latvia. The Latvian Interior Minister condemned the incident as a serious provocation, warning of potential consequences for Belarus. The military noted ongoing hybrid threats at the border, with illegal migration being used as a pressure tactic. Since 2021, there has been a significant increase in illegal crossings from Belarus into the EU, with accusations against Belarus for facilitating this crisis. Latvian border guards regularly thwart such attempts, including using warning shots and tear gas.
