Russia: Curfew Implemented Near Estonian Border

Russia has implemented nighttime restrictions since September 16, 2026, in two districts of the Leningrad region near the Estonian border, specifically in Slantsy and Kingissepp. Announced by the FSB, these measures restrict night travel, presence on certain coastal zones, navigation, hunting, and armed movements until September 26. Moscow justifies these restrictions as preventive measures against border violations and to protect biological resources amid heightened tensions with the Baltic states and concerns over potential Russian military mobilization.
