On Tuesday, 19 attempts to illegally cross the Latvian state border were prevented along the Latvia–Belarus frontier, the news portal Diena reports. The attempts were made by migrants trying to enter Latvian territory from the Belarusian side.

The source material available does not say which authorities prevented the attempts. It also does not say how many people were involved, where along the border the incidents took place, or what the migrants' backgrounds were. These details are therefore not included here.

The source page also carries a notice from the publisher, SIA “Izdevniecība “Dienas bizness””, about a project financed by the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the EU's post-pandemic recovery fund. It concerns the publisher's digital transformation and has no connection to the border events.
