Pevkur: Military garrison construction in Narva to begin this year

Estonian Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur announced that construction of a military garrison in Narva will commence in 2025. The project represents a significant defence investment in the city located on Estonia's eastern border.

Estonian Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur (Reform Party) announced that construction of a military garrison in Narva will begin in 2025. Narva is located on the border between Estonia and Russia and is strategically one of the most important cities in the country's eastern region.

According to Pevkur, the military garrison is part of a broader defence investment plan aimed at strengthening Estonia's defensive capabilities near the eastern border. Narva, as a militarily and strategically significant location, has long been under scrutiny by both Estonia and NATO allies.

The construction of a military garrison in the Narva area sends a signal that Estonia is seriously investing in the defence of its eastern border. The investment will also support the development of the local economy and create new jobs in the Ida-Viru region, which has undergone significant changes in recent years.
