Latvia Claims Becoming Main Target Of Minsk’s Hybrid Attack

Over the past day, 45 illegal migrants tried to cross the border.

State Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Latvia Dimitri Trofimov called the country the main target of the hybrid attack from Belarus at the present time. He stated this in an interview with TV3, Delfi reports.

Trofimov drew attention to the fact that last week Latvian border guards detained several dozen illegal migrants at the Belarusian border. He believes that there is an organized movement of migrants in Belarus, since it is impossible to explain otherwise such a rapid movement of migrants to different places on the border.

The Interior Ministry spokesman also said that the Latvian government has decided to build an additional 22.8 km of temporary fence on the Belarusian border.

According to the Latvian border service, over the past 24 hours, 45 people who tried to illegally cross the Belarusian-Latvian border were not allowed into the country.
