Well supportedReported by 6 independent outlets

Belarus has been accused of using migration to pressure the European bloc through border controls and alleged orchestration of flows into the EU. Meanwhile, border security has been escalating: Latvia is implementing new, undisclosed measures to strengthen its border with Belarus. In the separate border between Lithuania and Belarus, underground tunnels intended for migrant smuggling have been discovered.
