According to the State Border Guard Service (SBGS), most of the illegal immigrants were returned to Belarus in the extreme south-southeast of the country: in the districts of Šalčininkai, Varėna and within the borders of the municipality of Druskininkai.
During daylight hours, SBGS officers heard several single shots deep in Belarusian territory, and at dusk they recorded several signal rockets.
