According to border guards, the incident took place near the villages of Bialowieza and Krynki. Overall, several dozens of migrants managed to break through. Some of them were returned to the territory of Belarus, while others are still at large.
The situation remains calm at the migrant camp near the Kuznica-Bruzhi border crossing, where several hundreds of refugees are currently staying.
