Russia introduced temporary restrictions of 10 days in the border areas near Estonia. In an area of 5 kilometers along the border, night traffic outside populated areas was prohibited. Authorities also restricted the movement of small vessels along a certain stretch of the Narva River, as well as hunting and carrying weapons.
According to Estonian Interior Minister Igor Taro, there is no direct threat to the country, and the threat assessment remains unchanged. The Russian side attributed the restrictions to the need to increase the security of the country's borders. Meanwhile, a day earlier, one person was arrested after illegally crossing the border from Russia to Estonia.
