The Polish Ministry of Defense has not yet commented on the incident.
The situation on the border between Poland and Belarus became more complicated in November, when several thousand migrants from the Middle East countries approached the border with Poland from the Belarusian side, wishing to move to the EU. Illegals attempted to break into the country, while they threw stones and sticks at the Polish border guards. The security forces responded with stun grenades, tear gas and water cannons. In clashes with migrants, at least nine employees of Polish law enforcement agencies were injured.
In Poland, Belarusian border guards were accused of beatings and intimidation of migrants. According to Warsaw, refugees are forced to cross the border and are not allowed to return home. The EU authorities call this migration crisis “hybrid aggression” by the regime of Alexander Lukashenko.
Polish services have recorded eight deaths of migrants in Poland since the beginning of the migration crisis. This was announced in early December by the press secretary of the Polish border guard Anna Michalskaya.
Over the current year, Polish border guards prevented almost 40 thousand attempts to illegally cross the Polish-Belarusian border, which is 400 times more than in 2020.
