The situation on the Belarusian-Polish border remains extremely tense. BelTA learned this from the State Border Committee.

“In front of the Polish barriers on the border line there are more than 2 thousand refugees, including a significant number of women and children. According to foreigners, the final destination of their route is the EU, where they want to apply for protection, and they do not considered as a place of residence, “- said the SBC.

Refugees repeatedly tried to inform the Polish side that they had left their countries because their lives were in danger. “Despite the absence of aggressive actions on the part of refugees at that time, instead of trying to sort out the situation, the Polish security forces used aviation to exert psychological pressure. In addition, tear gas was sprayed against people seeking protection,” the SBC noted. On the unjustified use of special means, some of the refugees moved to more decisive actions and began to destroy the Polish barriers. “
