Poland has indefinitely shut its border with Belarus, Orda.kz reports, citing Novaya Gazeta.
Footage released by the Belarusian state agency BelTA shows Polish border guards erecting barricades and stretching barbed wire along the frontier.
Until now, only two checkpoints on the Belarus-Poland border remained operational, with just one — Brest — open to passenger traffic.
The move follows an overnight incident on Sept. 9–10, when 19 Russian drones violated Polish airspace.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced the full closure of the border starting Sept. 12, citing a “growing number of provocations” and the joint Russian-Belarusian military drills “Zapad-2025.”
