KIEV, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- The Ukrainian State Border Service on Wednesday tightened security measures at the country's border checkpoints, citing the "aggravating tendencies of terrorist risks and threats."
The stricter checks, which will be introduced at all points on the state border, will involve sniffer dogs and special technical equipment, the agency said in a statement.
The officers of the State Security Service will be deployed at some border crossing points, it said.
Recently, a series of incident occurred in Ukraine, which the authorities believed were terror-related.
Last week, two people were killed and three others, including a parliament member, were injured in a motorcycle blast in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.
On Tuesday, Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council ordered the national police and other law enforcement and security agencies to strengthen counter-terror measures.
