Russian authorities have implemented mobility restrictions near the border with Estonia, including a nighttime curfew and a ban on access to specific areas.

Russian authorities have imposed a nighttime curfew in the area near the border with **Estonia**, specifically in the city of **Narva**. In addition, the entry of vehicles and people has been prohibited in the **Slantsy** and **Kingisepp** districts, located less than **5 kilometers** from the border line. These measures will remain in force until **September 26**.

## Mobility restrictions at the border

Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has justified these actions as a measure to prevent border and migration abusa on the border with Estonia. The decision comes in the context of the upcoming elections to the Russian State Duma, which will be held over three days.

## Infrastructure construction on the Narva River

These restrictions add to information that emerged last month about the construction of trenches by Russian authorities on the **Narva** River. Reports indicated the creation of gravel embankments along the river, near a border crossing with Estonia.
