the Goytapa border detachment's border post near Imishli's Chaxirli
village.
As a result of the conducted border search and operational

near the state border line.
Operational-investigative measures are underway into the

The State Border Service maintains its efforts to ensure
reliable border protection and combat smuggling, illegal migration,
and drug trafficking, the agency adds.
