A state of emergency in the border areas was declared from September 28 to December 26.
“In connection with the mobilization in the Russian Federation in order to intensify military operations on the territory of Ukraine and the need to prevent possible threats to internal security In Latvia, an emergency situation has been declared in the Aluksne, Balvi and Luden regions,” the governor said.
Due to the growing pressure of illegal immigration from Belarus, the Latvian government has already declared a state of emergency in the Ludza, Kraslava, Augshdaugovsky regions and Daugavpils since August 11, 2021, and it has repeatedly continued since then. It has been extended until November 10.
