On the day of the Russian 'election' on September 20, 2026, the FSB imposed a 10-day lockdown along the border just south of Narva, specifically in the Slantsy and Kingisepp districts. The restrictions include a nighttime curfew banning movement on foot or by vehicle outside settlements within a 5 km border zone. Additional bans include visiting the riverbanks, use of small boats on the Narva river, hunting, and carrying firearms in the specified border areas. The official justification is to prevent offenses in border and migration spheres and to protect aquatic biological resources.
