Ukrainian authorities arrested 12 illegal immigrants from Pakistan and five from Somalia in two raids near to the country's western frontier, border guards announced on Saturday. Ten Pakistanis were arrested on Friday by a joint operation of police and border guards in a private house in Turyi Remety near to Ukraine's frontier with Slovakia, the border guards said.
The two other Pakistani and five Somali illegal immigrants were detained in Khust near the Ukrainian-Romanian frontier on the same day after a tip-off from a local resident.
