Estonian Defense Minister Comments on Armed Russian Men Near Border
Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur commented on the recent closure of an Estonian road that passes through Russia after a group of armed Russian men was spotted near the border.
The road in question passes through the Saatse Boot, a small piece of Russian territory that juts into Estonia along its eastern border. Locals are normally allowed to use the road without stopping.
- On October 10, the Estonian Border Guard reported a larger-than-usual unit on Russian territory near the road.
- The agency closed the road to prevent possible provocations and incidents, according to regional operational head Künter Pedosk.
- A video released by the border service showed seven armed men in camouflage standing on the road, who later left the area.
No comment from Russian officials was provided.
