立陶宛短暂关闭了与白俄罗斯的两个边界,使用气球烟雾抽吸香烟,中断交通,直至10月25日。 Lithuania briefly closed two borders with Belarus over balloon-smuggled cigarettes, halting traffic until Oct. 25.

立陶宛于10月22日暂时关闭了与白俄罗斯的两个边境检查站,并于10月24日再次关闭,由于载运走私香烟的天气气球激增,扰乱维尔纽斯机场的运作,因此未经事先通知即停止所有交通。 Lithuania briefly closed two border checkpoints with Belarus on October 22 and again on October 24, halting all traffic without prior notice due to a surge in weather balloons carrying smuggled cigarettes that disrupted Vilnius Airport operations. 10月25日明斯克时间中午12时解除了封锁,封锁影响到约3 000辆汽车,使边界能力降低到正常的10%左右。 The closures, which affected around 3,000 vehicles and reduced border capacity to about 10% of normal, were lifted on October 25 at 12:00 p.m. Minsk time. 白俄罗斯称突然关闭是史无前例和破坏性的,而立陶宛则警告说,反复发射气球可能导致全面关闭边界。 Belarus called the sudden closures unprecedented and disruptive, while Lithuania warned that repeated balloon launches could lead to a full border shutdown.
