**Belarusian soldiers have threatened to open fire towards our soldiers, the national defence ministry said on Thursday. The threat allegedly occurred on Wednesday when Polish servicemen located a group of about 250 migrants near the border fence.**
Yesterday there was another provocation against Polish soldiers on duty at the border. The servicemen located a group of about 250 migrants near the fence. **”Belarusian soldiers guarding them threatened to open fire towards our soldiers,”** the Ministry of Defence wrote on Twitter
.The ministry conveyed that **the servicemen did not let themselves be provoked.** “The actions of the Belarusian soldiers looked like an attempt to escalate the situation, but they were also an attempt to hide the fact of the passage of a group of migrants to the territory of Poland,” – it was informed.
**Further incidents at the border**
The Ministry of Defence recalled that this is yet another example of Belarusians joining in pushing migrants into Poland. On Wednesday morning, the spokesman for the minister coordinator of special services Stanislaw Żaryn tweeted that on Tuesday night, Polish soldiers spotted three uniformed individuals with long guns who, after trying to make contact, reloaded their weapons and moved away in the direction of Belarus. A spokesman for the minister coordinator of special services further reported that the individuals had entered Polish territory several hundred metres from the border. In connection with the incident, both the Polish Foreign Ministry and the Border Guard decided to address formal protests to the Belarusian side.
On Wednesday, border guards recorded 433 attempts to illegally cross the Polish-Belarusian border. Nine people were detained: 6 Iraqi citizens, 2 Syrian citizens and a Turkish citizen. 67 people were ordered to leave the territory of the Republic of Poland.
Since the beginning of the year, the Border Guard has recorded over 30,000 attempts to illegally cross the Polish-Belarusian border, including nearly 17,300 in October, nearly 7,700 in September and over 3,500 in August.
Since 2 September, due to migratory pressure, a state of emergency has been in force in 183 towns in Podlaskie and Lubelskie voivodeships in the border zone with Belarus. It was introduced for 30 days by an order of President Andrzej Duda, issued at the request of the Council of Ministers. The Sejm agreed to extend the state of emergency by another 60 days.

poland rly wants to get fucked by every side, maybe they got a abuse fetish after getting occupied for too long
Still incredible that EU won’t fund a border fence.
Is the Bialowieza forest going to have a wall ?
It would be tragic on an ecological standpoint, it’s one of Poland’s diamond
Why does it seem increasingly like Belarus is trying to provoke a full-on armed conflict? A war can’t be good for them so what’s the point
Hey wake up Article 5 this is your chance to shine!

They opened fire once, but with blanks
