Monday marked the closure of the Vaalimaa , Nuijamaa , Imatra and Niirala border crossing points on Finland 's eastern border.

The closures were prompted by a rapid increase in the number of asylum seekers arriving at these border points after Russia began allowing people without valid travel documents to cross.

Border guards carry out more patrols in the border zone in vehicles and on foot with dogs.
