Four Polish soldiers suffered as a result of new clashes with migrants on the border of Poland and Belarus at night on November 19. The representative of the Border Guard of Poland Anna Mikhalskaya was informed about the injuries of the TASS servicemen.
“Four soldiers suffered. They have small injuries as a result of stones,” said Mikhalskaya. The representative of the border guards said that at night two groups of migrants made attempts to force the border strength. In one of the groups there were about 500 people, Mikhalskaya reported.
The assaults managed to reflect due to a tear gas, but the Polish soldiers actively responded with stones and sticks, blinded by a laser pointer. According to Mikhalskaya, after migrants failed to break through the border, their Belarusian security forces were taken. Polish border guards found at the site attempts to assault camps or crowds of people.
Earlier in Belarus called the number of victims from the use of specialized migrants from the Polish side. Belarusian investigators counted 65 victims, including 14 juvenile. Only 62 people turned out to be citizens of Iraq, two – Belarus, and one citizen of Russia.
collisions on the Belarusian-Polish border began on November 8, when a column of migrants came from the territory of Belarus to the cross-border strip and tried to penetrate the European Union. For several days, small groups have joined the accumulation of migrants, as a result, their number has reached several thousand. Poland accused the Belarusian authorities in the artificial creation of a migration crisis. On November 18, part of the refugees was located in a warehouse in Belarus, but individual groups continue to attempts to assign the Polish border.
