    Estonia closes Russian border crossing at night

    Estonia will today close its Narva-1 border crossing with Russia between 11pm and 7am local time, Estonian public broadcaster, ERR, reported.

    The closure has been recommended by the interior ministry after Estonian authorities observed an influx of migrants and asylum seekers.

    Local residents are not thought to be affected, but those travelling for public holidays may suffer some disruption, ERR reported.

    The Narva-1 crossing connects the two countries via a bridge over the Narva River.

    Marek Liiva, head of the Narva border crossing, told ERR that anyone who is left on the bridge after 11pm will still be seen by border control and allowed to cross.
