Short Summary: Following a violent incident involving a migrant stabbing a Polish border soldier, the Polish government reinstates a buffer zone and increases police as part of response to hybrid aggression attributed to Belarus/Russia.

Description

Poland has announced an increase in police presence and the reinstatement of a 200-meter-wide buffer zone at the Belarus border following the stabbing of a Polish soldier by a migrant.

Tusk...visited a border guard station in Dubicze Cerkiewne district, eastern Poland owing to rising tensions along the frontier.

"We will deploy more police forces, particularly where there are group attempts to breach the border. This action is necessary to counter the organized efforts to destabilize our country."
