Since January 2022, 8,927 attempts to cross the border illegally have already been recorded in Lithuania.

The Lithuanian agency, referring to colleagues from the State Border Guard of Latvia, also noted that 17 attempts to illegally cross the Belarusian-Latvian border were documented the previous day.

Border Committee of Belarus: states that border guards found an unconscious migrant on the border with Lithuania

The press service of the State Border Committee of Belarus stated that on October 7, a border guard found a foreigner, presumably a citizen of Bangladesh, in an "unconscious state with obvious signs of hypothermia" in the Braslav District.

He was hospitalized in intensive care.

The department claims that "according to the foreigner, the Lithuanian security forces pushed him to Belarus."

On October 1, the Border Committee announced that an illegal alien from Nepal was found on the Belarusian-Lithuanian border with wounds, frostbite and in an unconscious state, and on October 2, a dead migrant.

Lithuania has not yet commented on the message of the Belarusian agency.

The migration crisis on the border between Belarus and the EU countries began in the spring of 2021.

At first, Lithuania experienced a multiple increase in the number of irregular migrants.

After Vilnius decided not to detain migrants, but to return them to Belarus, the foreigners shifted their focus to Poland, and then to Latvia.

Before the start of the war in Ukraine, the flow of migrants decreased significantly, but after some time it started to grow again.

The authorities of Lithuania and Poland assign responsibility for the migration crisis at the border to the Belarusian authorities.

On September 7, Lithuania handed Belarus a note of protest in connection with "repeated cases of intentional damage to the physical fence (protective fence and barbed wire) on the Lithuanian state border."

In response, the Belarusian authorities call the cause of the crisis the actions of the West in the countries from which migrants arrive.
