Latvian border guards have discovered a 10-meter-long underground tunnel used by a group of 15 migrants to cross from Belarus into Latvia. This marks the first instance of an underground passage being detected along the Latvian-Belarusian border. The migrants are believed to have used the tunnel to bypass border security measures. Latvian Interior Minister Jānis Dombrava has labeled the incident as part of a hybrid operation orchestrated to destabilize the region. In response, Latvia is immediately bolstering its border protection efforts. The discovery highlights a new tactic employed by individuals attempting unauthorized entry into Latvia. Authorities are investigating the tunnel’s construction and potential connections to organized crime.
