Polish border forces and migrants clashed at the fenced-off Bruzgi-Kuznica border crossing on Tuesday.

The border security deployed tear gas, water cannons, and stun grenades to disperse the migrants after they threw stones and other objects at the law enforcement.

Poland’s Border Guard released a statement saying, “Currently, foreigners return from the border crossing in Bruzgi to the area of the former encampment located a few hundred meters away at the border line. Everything is done under the supervision of the Belarusian services.”

Polish special services estimate that around 3,500 migrants have gathered at the Bruzgi-Kuznica border crossing.

Warsaw has increased the number of troops on the border to repel the migrants and also brought in special equipment.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Monday that Minsk was ready to organise flights to send migrants back to their homeland.

The migrant crisis comes amid escalating tensions between the EU and Belarus. Brussels has accused Lukashenko of orchestrating the migrant flow as part of a ‘hybrid war’ designed to put pressure on the bloc over sanctions. Minsk has denied the allegations.

Poland last month strengthened border patrols on the frontier with Belarus and put up a barbed-wire fence in place in an attempt to stem the flow.
