A joint patrol of the Polish Border Guard and Territorial Defence Forces stopped 13 people in a forested area about 3 km from the Lithuanian border. According to the authorities, they had crossed from Lithuania outside official checkpoints during temporary border controls.

The group included nationals of Somalia, Eritrea, India, Bangladesh, Sudan, and Egypt. They were transferred back to Lithuania under readmission procedures.
