Estonia is going to close all border crossing points along its border with Russia following an attempted act of sabotage at a defence company.

Details: All crossing points on the Estonian-Russian border are scheduled to close from 1 December.
Quote: "Russia must understand that hostile actions against Estonia come with consequences. Attempts to intimidate, destabilise or undermine our security will not go unanswered. Closing the border crossings will reduce Russia's ability to conduct hostile activities in Estonia and strengthen our efforts to prevent sanctions circumvention."
Details: Tsahkna added that he has informed his counterparts from Finland, Latvia and Lithuania of this decision.
