The State Border Committee (GBC) of Belarus states that the shooting, the sounds of which can be heard at the border, were opened from the Polish side. This was stated by the official representative of the State Procurement Committee Anton Bychkovsky.
“Shooting can be heard from Polish territory. The reasons are unknown to us, “he said (quoted by Interfax). Reports of shooting on the Belarusian-Polish border have appeared on social networks, but information about where the shooting comes from is contradictory.
The situation on the border of Belarus with Poland and Lithuania has sharply deteriorated today, November 8. In the morning, a large column of migrants (mostly Kurds) appeared on the highway in the Grodno region, moving towards the Polish border. Not reaching the checkpoint, potential illegal immigrants turned into the forest, where they tried to break into Poland through the fences. According to experts interviewed by Kommersant, the number of migrants who chose Belarus as a transit point has only grown in recent months, and a new assault may be the result of the first frost, and not a political signal from Minsk.
More details about the situation – in the material “Kommersant” “The border is storming under the cover of Minsk.”
