Two citizens of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria have been detained while attempting to illegally cross the state border of Azerbaijan.
This information was provided to the Operative Information Center-OMM by the State Border Service.
According to official reports, the incident occurred within the service area of the "Khudat" border detachment. Due to the vigilance of the border patrol, two Algerian nationals—identified as Makhlouf Houari (born 1994) and Brahim Houari (born 1996)—were apprehended while attempting to cross from the Republic of Azerbaijan in the direction of the Russian Federation.
Operational and investigative measures regarding the incident are currently ongoing.
The State Border Service of Azerbaijan maintains strict control over the country's borders to ensure national security and prevent illegal migration. The Khudat border detachment, located in the northern region of the country, is responsible for securing a significant portion of the border between Azerbaijan and the Russian Federation, a route that is occasionally targeted by individuals attempting to bypass official border checkpoints.
