The ministry also said the Wednesday incident was yet another confirmation of the involvement of the Belarusian regime into pushing illegal migrants across the border into Polish territory. 'The actions of the Belarusian soldiers looked like an attempt to escalate the situation, but they were also an attempt to hide the fact that a group of migrants had crossed into Polish territory,' the ministry wrote. The ministry said the Polish servicemen did not yield to the provocation. 'Belarusian soldiers guarding them (migrants - PAP) threatened to open fire at our soldiers.' 'Yesterday saw another provocation against Polish soldiers serving at the border,' the ministry wrote on Twitter. Belarusian soldiers guarding a group of migrants at the border with Poland on Wednesday threatened Polish soldiers that they were going to open fire, the Polish Defence Ministry reported on Thursday.Īccording to the ministry, the threats were issued when Polish servicemen spotted a group of about 250 migrants near a border fence.
