The Turkish military is in the process of building an anti-tank trench at the bridgehead of Karagac in the region of Kastanies in Evros, with the goal of blocking a possible advance of Greek forces eastward.

Two Germans citizens were arrested near a restricted military zone in Evros, north-eastern Greece and taken to the Orestiada Prosecutor for further questioning.

The Chief of the Hellenic Army General Staff (HAGS), Lieutenant General Alkiviadis Stefanis patrolled the area where the two Greek soldiers were arrested by the Turkish forces in a symbolic move.
