The bodies of two people have been discovered in the Tisa River near Ukraine’s border with Romania, Ukraine’s state border guard reported.
“Despite the lowering of the water level in the Tisa, it is extremely dangerous to swim across it, especially at night,” a statement by the border guard said.
“Sharp stones, roots, tree debris, and the swift and cold stream can pose danger to life and health.”
The identities of the individuals are yet to be released.
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, a total of 24 people have died trying to cross the river, according to the border guard.
Law enforcement agencies have uncovered nearly 400 criminal networks that help individuals evade military service by helping them flee abroad, according to Andriy Demchenko, a spokesperson for the state border guard service.
