Neighboring Latvia recorded no attempts to cross the border illegally on Thursday, and Polish border guards turned three irregular migrants away.

Lithuanian border guards have sent more than 10,300 people back to Belarus since last August, when they were given the right to deny entry to irregular migrants. However, the number includes repeated attempts by the same people to cross the border.

Almost 4,200 irregular migrants crossed into Lithuania from Belarus illegally last year.

Lithuania calls the unprecedented influx of migrants from Belarus, which began about a year ago, a "hybrid attack" by the Minsk regime.
