Belarus blames Poland for border chaos. This was announced to TASS on Monday by the official representative of the State Border Committee Anton Bichkovski.
The State Border Committee of Belarus said that the sounds of gunfire on the border with Poland, where there are about two thousand refugees, are heard from the Polish side.
We recall that earlier today Poland warns of military provocations on the border with Belarus. Polish authorities fear escalation of tensions and military provocations on the border with Belarus against the background of the current migration crisis. This was announced at a briefing on Monday by the spokesman of the Polish government Piotr Müller.
According to him, it may be difficult for Polish border guards to determine the nature of a shot.
“Using a weapon is the last thing we want to do“, said the representative of the Polish government.

This was stated on Monday at a briefing by the head of the National Security Bureau of the Republic Pavel Soloch after a meeting of the Polish leader with government representatives on the situation on the border with Belarus.
From 3 thousand to 4 thousand migrants who want to reach Poland from Belarus are located next to the border, commented Mueller.
The Polish border with Belarus now is protected by thousands of border guards, with the support of the army and police. “Soon we will strengthen these forces, especially in those places that are under threat from attacks by people who want to cross the border illegally, “he said. According to him, certain decisions have already been made, but the authorities have decided not to disclose details yet.
