Lithuania finds unfinished tunnel for suspected migrant crossings from Belarus

Lithuania's State Border Guard Service (VSAT) announced the discovery of an unfinished tunnel near the Belarus-Lithuania border, believed to be used by migrants attempting to cross illegally. The tunnel, approximately 11 meters long, was found by border guards using vibration sensors near the village of Pertakas. Upon detection, around 20 foreign nationals fled back into Belarus. The tunnel was designed to bypass the border fence and reach deeper into Lithuanian territory, with construction materials like logs, sand, and buckets found at the site. The VSAT chief attributed the increased use of tunnels to Belarusian border guard involvement, marking this as the second such discovery in a week.
