After that, the border guards returned to their hovercraft and went back to the Russian side of the river.

The PPA detected an illegal crossing of a temporary control line between Estonia and Russia on the Narva River breakwater by three border guards of the Russian Federation on December 17, 2025..

An official contact has been established with the border representative of the Russian Federation to obtain explanations," he said.
