Lithuanian border guards discovered another unfinished underground tunnel at the Belarusian-Lithuanian border near the village of Latežeris in Druskininkai Municipality on August 4, 2026. The tunnel was dug at a depth of about 1.5 meters and extended approximately 4 meters into Lithuanian territory. It was reinforced with boards and logs, with the Belarusian entrance covered by camouflage fabric. Authorities believe the tunnel was intended for smuggling migrants into Lithuania and have filled it with earth. A pre-trial investigation has been launched. This is the third tunnel found on this border in recent weeks, with a total of 10 tunnels detected since the beginning of 2026.
