Lithuania detains 30 migrants from Belarus tunnel

Lithuanian border guards have detained 30 migrants who illegally crossed the border from Belarus through an underground tunnel. The unusual border violation was recorded by a video surveillance system in the Vilnius district on the afternoon of April 6. The incident highlights the ongoing use of sophisticated methods to breach the EU's eastern border, which has been a flashpoint since the 2021 migrant crisis orchestrated by Belarus. Lithuanian authorities are investigating the tunnel's construction and the organized smuggling operation behind it.
