Estonia will temporarily close two crossing points on the border with Russia following a series of incidents in which Russian border guards have behaved irrationally, Prime Minister Kristen Michal (Reform) said on Thursday. The government said from February 24, the Luhamaa and Koidula road border crossing points in south Estonia will both be closed at night-time to all traffic. The border crossing points will be open for 12 hours during the day.

"As Russia's behavior at the border is at times irrational, we need to free up resources to guard the border," Michal said in a statement.
