Tensiuni la granița NATO: Persoane înarmate din Belarus au intrat în Letonia

Armed individuals from Belarus entered Latvia, damaging an electric panel and stealing surveillance cameras. This incident is linked to attempts to guide illegal immigrants into Latvia. The Latvian Interior Minister described the actions as a serious provocation, warning Belarus of potential consequences. The military confirmed ongoing hybrid threats at the border, with illegal migration being used as a pressure tactic. Since 2021, there has been a surge in illegal migration attempts from Belarus to the EU, attributed to Belarusian authorities facilitating these movements. Latvia and Lithuania regularly prevent such crossings, with recent incidents involving warning shots and the discovery of smuggling tunnels.
