Migrants from Belarus gather at Polish border

A video published by the Polish Ministry of Interior on its Twitter page shows a standoff between migrants and Polish policemen and border guards at the Polish-Belarusian border.

Polish authorities accused Belarus of trying to spark a major confrontation on Monday (November 8) and said they had mobilized additional soldiers as footage on social media showed hundreds of migrants walking towards the Polish border.

Migrants on the Polish-Belarusian border have attempted to force their way through barbed wire on the frontier, the Polish Border Guard said.
