According to the Lithuanian border guard service, 55 attempts of illegal border crossing from Belarus were prevented over the past day.

This information comes from the news source Delfi.

This marks a record for the number of intercepted migrants in a single day this year.

Gedrius Mishutis, a representative of the border service, stated that four groups of migrants attempted to enter Lithuania.

Notably, on Wednesday evening, 38 illegal migrants were stopped in the Varena and Lazdijai districts.

"Another group was apprehended in the Ignalina district in the evening. The migrants were identified, detained, and underwent individual checks before being returned to Belarus", – said Mishutis.

Recently, Poland warned that migration pressure on the border with Belarus is increasing again.

Specifically, it was reported that a Polish soldier was injured due to an incident involving illegal migrants at the Belarusian border.
