RT quoted the National Radio and Television (ERR) of Estonia that the unknown 38 -year -old Russian man acknowledged that at about 1 am local time on the 26th, he used surfing boards to cross somewhere in the Narva River estuary. The border guard forces of Narva-Joesuu (Narva-Joesuu) sent several patrols including a police dog team, and found the illegal cross-border at a public bus station at around 4:30 in the morning.

The man was taken to the border checkpoint to complete the corresponding administrative procedure, and he was fined and returned to Russia. He told the Estonian authorities that the Russian President Putin announced some military mobilization last week.

RT reports that since the outbreak of Russia and Ukraine in late February this year, the Estonian government has been strengthening border security. A border official of Estonia said that the country has not yet increased immigration pressure. "We are paying close attention to the situation. If necessary, we will add troops to the border."

According to RT, the border town of Nalvaro is located in the northeast corner of Estonia, and the Nalva River flows into the Finnish Gulf here. In August, Estonia stopped issuing visas to Russian tourists, and earlier this month with other Baltic countries -Latvia and Lithuania, which is limited to Russian citizens entering the country in other countries in the Schengen area.
