On September 13, 2024, four out of six planned surveillance towers for border observation were erected near the Daugava river section of the Latvian-Belarusian border. The Latvian State Real Estate and VNI announced the towers' installation aims to enhance effective control and timely identification of illegal border crossings and other violations. The Latvian-Belarusian border fence, 145 kilometers long, was completed in July, and multiple border infrastructure improvements including patrol tracks and pontoon patrol lines are underway to bolster border security. This activity supports Latvia's ongoing efforts to secure its boundary with Belarus amid geopolitical tensions.
