MOSCOW, September 1. /TASS/. Poland has refuted Belarus’ reports that its military helicopter violated the Belarusian airspace.

Belarus’ State Border Committee said earlier in the day that a Polish Mi-24 military helicopter violated the Belarusian state border in the Grodno Region at an extremely low altitude and flew 1,200 meters deep into Belarusian territory, and then returned back to Poland.

Meanwhile, Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Pawel Jablonski said in an interview with the Polsat television channel that Warsaw will analyze Minsk’s statements about the violation of Belarus' airspace by a Polish helicopter.
