Traffic through Lithuania's border with Belarus reopened at noon on Saturday, more than 12 hours after a balloon intrusion led to a temporary suspension late Friday, APA reports, citing Xinhua.
According to the State Border Guard Service (VSAT), checks and crossings for people and vehicles at the Medininkai and Salcininkai checkpoints have resumed.
Traffic at both checkpoints was halted around 9:30 p.m. (1830 GMT) on Friday following reports of some meteorological weather balloons flying towards Lithuanian airspace.
VSAT said that during the closure, no major incidents or conflicts were reported among waiting drivers near the checkpoints.
