Belarus forces open fire on Polish troops over border

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s prime minister has expressed support for the army troops and border guards protecting the frontier with Belarus from migration pressure after shots were fired at the Polish troops by Belarusian forces. Mateusz Morawiecki said on Twitter Friday that all state powers were with the border guardians. A spokeswoman for Poland’s border guards said there were no injuries in Thursday’s incident. She said blank ammunition was probably used. Poland is guarding the border against pressure of migrants from the Middle East and Africa, saying they are being encouraged to cross by the Moscow-backed Belarusian government in order to destabilize the EU.
