On 22 January 2024, at 11:36 a.m. (Lithuanian time) in the Puškai border control checkpoint near Vilnius, the State Border Guard Service observed border violations by three armed Belarusian border guards who crossed the Belarusian-Lithuanian state border, entered 2,5 m deep into the territory of Lithuania, walked about 400 meters, and returned to Belarus.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania requested Belarus to explain the incident as soon as possible and to take all necessary measures to prevent such incidents from occurring again.
