Latvia’s border guard finds tunnel on Belarus border. 28 people tried to enter the country through it.

Latvia's border guard has uncovered an underground tunnel on the country's Belarus border, used for illegal entries. The troopers apprehended 28 individuals attempting to cross through the tunnel and returned them to Belarus. The entrance was located 20 meters from the border, cleverly disguised by moss. This marks the second such tunnel found by Latvia's border guard, following one discovered on August 10 near Skrudaliena, where 15 people were trying to breach the border.
