“On the morning of October 20, the border patrol on duty in the Usnazh-Gurna region reported that the foreigners wandering on the Belarusian side were forcing the border,” the border guard said.

The foreigners on the Belarusian side had dangerous items – an ax and knives.

“Measures of direct coercion, including gas, were used against migrants who destroyed the border fence. 16 illegal migrants who forcibly entered Poland, in accordance with the decree of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, were returned to the border line with Belarus,” the Polish border guards added.
