On Wednesday, 71 people tried to illegally cross the border from the Belarusian side, the Polish Border Guard Service reports.
A group of 31 ‘aggressive persons’ attempted to force the border near the village of Czeremsza. 20 migrants tried to enter the territory of Poland not far from the village of Narewka, 11 – near Nowy Dwor.
Two servicemen were injured, Polish officials stressed. Illegal migrants are known to use stones and sticks when attacking border guards.
According to previous reports, Belarusian military repeatedly tried to dazzle Polish border guards with laser beams and bright lights; the Polish side states the Belarusians destroy the border fence at night from time to time, trying to help irregular migrants enter the territory of Poland. It should be recalled that OSAM, the special force of the Belarusian border troops, is included in the EU’s 5th sanctions package adopted on December 2 for their contribution to facilitating the migration crisis on the EU borders.
