Lithuania to block unused border roads with dragon’s teeth this week

“We are planning to fortify all 19 remaining border crossings before the end of the week,” Anelauskas said, noting that access roads to 10 crossings have already been closed.
The dragon’s teeth barriers are part of a broader fortification strategy, Lithuanian Armed Forces Commander Raimundas Vaikšnoras explained earlier.

At present, only two border crossings—Medininkai and Šalčininkai—remain open on Lithuania’s border with Belarus amid heightened political tensions between the two countries.
