Estonia completely closes its border with Russia. The three border crossings between the countries currently operating will stop allowing people to cross on December 1.
According to the Estonian Foreign Minister, Margus Tshani, the decision is related to the attempted arson of a defense plant on November 14. The country's authorities accused the Russian special services of being involved in the sabotage attempt.
"Russia must understand that hostile actions against Estonia have consequences," said the Estonian minister.
On the night of November 14, unknown persons broke windows and tried to pour flammable liquid into the building of a company that manufactures attack drones, including for Ukraine. Eight people were arrested in connection with the case, all residents of Latvia.
