The Latvian State Border Guard has reported stopping 97 attempts by individuals to illegally cross the border from Belarus into Latvia over a three-day period. The announcement was made by Latvijas Televīzija, highlighting ongoing border security challenges. Latvia, along with other Baltic states, has maintained heightened border security and physical barriers since a 2021 migrant crisis orchestrated by Belarus. The latest figures indicate a persistent pattern of attempted illegal crossings from the east.
