Frontex says irregular EU border crossings fell 29% in first ten months of 2026

Irregular border crossings into the European Union fell by 29% in the first ten months of 2026 compared with the same period last year, according to preliminary data collected by Frontex. The agency said almost 110,000 crossings were recorded over the period.

Frontex said the decline was visible on nearly all of the major migratory routes. It linked the drop to sustained cooperation with partner countries and preventive measures in key departure states.

The agency said those measures continue to reduce the number of boats setting out towards Europe. No further breakdown by route, country, or month was provided in the source text.
