Summary

Headline: Removal by Russia of Narva River buoys leads to surge in border violations

Short Summary: Estonia has experienced a sharp increase in river border violations after Russia removed navigation buoys along the Narva River.

Description

The removal of navigation buoys by Russia from the Narva River has led to a significant increase in border violations along the Estonian-Russian river border, with cases doubling in 2024.

Evidence

Quotes

The number of border violations on the Narva River, which marks Estonia's northeastern border, has doubled on year to 124 cases in 2024 so far.

Border incidents have been on the rise since Russia removed navigation buoys marking the border along the river.

In May, Russia removed navigation buoys from the Narva and Piusa rivers.

The removal of navigation aids has led to confusion among vessels and an increased number of unintentional, as well as potentially intentional, border violations.
