Defence ministry reports more incidents on Belarus border

A Belarusian soldier tried to fire a flare gun at Polish personnel on Poland's border with Belarus while others threatened to open fire on Polish troops, the Defence Ministry reported on Friday. Areas adjacent to Poland's border with Belarus have been under a state of emergency since September 2 due to migratory pressure Warsaw blames on a policy of Belarus's Alexander Lukashenko regime aimed at destabilising the EU. Poland has deployed hundreds of Border Guard officers and troops to the border area.
