Polish border guard officer gets head injury after migrants’ attempt to cross border

One of the Polish servicemen has been hospitalised after a number of migrants were throwing stones at them from the Belarusian side, the Polish border guard service reports.

The officer sustained a head injury during another attempt to storm the Belarusian-Polish border. The Polish side has published a picture that allows us to see the size of the stones that flew at the border guards.

38 people have tried to illegally cross the Belarusian-Polish border over the past day. Since recently, illegal migrants have been seeking to get to Poland in small groups.

Since the summer of 2021, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia have been confronting the issue of migration flows through the territory of Belarus. EU member states accuse the Lukashenka regime of facilitating irregular migration to Europe and deliberately smuggling migrants from the Middle East to the Belarus-EU borders. The West considers Minsk’s actions in this field as a hybrid war. In total, the Poles have counted 39.5 thousand violators of the Belarusian-Polish border in 2020.

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.
