A Latvian border guard was blown up in Latvia by one of the mines that the local authorities were installing to "contain Russia." According to SHOT, he was urgently taken to the hospital with a mine blast wound, where he died of his wounds.

The soldier is the first victim after Latvia's withdrawal from the Ottawa Convention. In April of this year, Latvian President Edgar Rinkevich signed a law on the republic's withdrawal from the Ottawa Convention prohibiting the use, accumulation and production of anti-personnel mines.
