Lithuanian State Border Guard detained a group of 30 migrants who crossed from Belarus into Lithuania via a tunnel dug under the border fence near Baravykines village in the Vilnius district. Surveillance cameras spotted the tunnel exit located several meters from the fence. Border guards, assisted by dog handlers, helicopter, drones and police, intercepted the migrants. Among those detained were three foreign nationals (two Ukrainians and one Georgian) who were supposed to transport the migrants in cars with Polish license plates. Additionally, a Lithuanian citizen was detained while transporting six Afghans. In total, 27 migrants were detained; 24 returned to Belarus, two hospitalized. The migrants included citizens of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan. Further arrests include a 44-year-old Azerbaijani citizen and a 28-year-old Lithuanian suspected of organizing the migration route, both held in custody. Polish border guards had previously discovered tunnels on their territory as well.
