The East Prefecture, in cooperation with the Estonian Defence League, will conduct a joint exercise called KILP, during which the Narva border crossing point will be temporarily closed from April 30 to May 2. The border crossing point will reopen for regular operations on May 3.
According to Eerik Purgel, Head of the Border Guard Bureau of the East Prefecture, the plans to temporarily close the Narva border crossing point are related to a long-planned exercise, as some of the activities are going to be carried out at the border crossing point. “We ask people to take this into account when planning their journeys – from April 30 to May 2, the Narva border crossing point will be temporarily closed, and it will not be possible to cross the border there. During this period, the border can be crossed at the Koidula and Luhamaa border crossing points, which are open 24/7 and allow for crossing by car as well,” he added.
The joint exercise KILP, organised by the East Prefecture and the Estonian Defence League, will take place in the East Prefecture from 28 April to 2 May. The exercise will focus on practicing response measures in the event of migration pressure and tackling a national defence crisis.
