Russian media announced that Russia plans to deploy an "Iskander" ballistic missile system near the border with Finland. According to them, this is a response to Finland's membership in NATO last year.
Analysts say Finland is facing various security threats from Russia since Helsinki's NATO membership, prompted by Moscow's large-scale attack on Ukraine.
At the end of last year, thousands of migrants from various countries, including Syria and Somalia, started arriving at the Finland-Russia border to seek asylum.
Helsinki closed the border in November, accusing the Kremlin of using migration as a weapon. Finland is building a fence along part of its 1,340-kilometer border with Russia and increasing patrols. Russia denies trying to create a migrant crisis on the Finnish border. Moscow has considered Finland's membership in NATO a "historic mistake" that would force it to take "countermeasures".
