In general, the detention of unknown operation lasted for 20 minutes.

Among the detained were 4 men, two women and two 9 months and 2-year children. As in most cases, when the illegal migrants get detained, ‘travelers’ did not have any documents which could identify personality. Where Afghans were going and their identification will be established later. The court will determine the decision under the law and their fate. The administrative legal proceedings and operational verification measures are held at the moment in order to establish the possible involvement of Ukraine citizens to the illegal immigrants transferring.
