VILNIUS: Latvia said on Tuesday a tunnel had been discovered under the border with Belarus and announced plans to combat networks that it says are helping a growing number of migrants cross the frontier illegally. Latvian soldiers last month used teargas and fired a warning shot to stop migrants trying to enter from Belarus, which shares a 173-km (107-mile) border with European Union member state Latvia.

LATVIJA pojačava zaštitu granice nakon otkrića tunela za migrante te najavljuje stroži obračun s mrežama koje pomažu u ilegalnim prijelazima u EU.

The Latvian government says the increase in irregular migration represents a hybrid threat orchestrated by Russia and Belarus. #EuropeNews
