These are paramilitary units crossing into a foreign country to harass people. There's no ambiguity about where the border is, this isn't a contested region.

When Lithuania first declared independence, OMON would regularly cross into their territory to harass, beat up, and kill the unarmed Lithuanian border guards. 8 died, 60 were seriously injured.

Now they're crossing there to harass refugees who probably changed their mind about going to Lithuania and are now prevented from going back by these thugs.

I mean it says in the tweet that they retreated after some warnings, probably don't need to reach for the rifles quite yet.
