According to statements from the commander of the State Border Guard Service, a notable trend has emerged concerning the methods by which migrants are attempting to enter the Republic of Lithuania. Officials have reported an increased utilization of subterranean passages, specifically tunnels, as an ingress route into the country’s territory. The commander indicated that throughout the current year, approximately ten such tunnels have been identified across Lithuania.
These structures have been used by migrants in attempts—some of which have resulted in successful, though illegal, entry into the nation. The State Border Guard Service confirmed that when these unauthorized passages are discovered, established protocols are immediately enacted. Any migrants apprehended within the tunnels or found having entered Lithuania through them are either detained or turned back across the border.
Furthermore, the border guard services are responsible for securing the area by filling in the identified tunnels with earth to prevent further use. This reported activity highlights a persistent challenge in border security, necessitating continuous monitoring and adaptation of border control measures. The consistent identification of these clandestine tunnels underscores the organized nature of the irregular migration attempts and the border guard’s ongoing efforts to secure Lithuania’s frontiers against unauthorized crossings.
