Summary

On July 10, 2025, at the Poland-Belarus border, a group of over 20 Afghan nationals dug a tunnel beneath the border fence, allowing entry into Poland. Authorities detained 18 individuals and launched efforts to capture 2 more. Concurrently, at another section of the border, migrants from Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Cameroon, Algeria, and Eritrea, frustrated by the well-protected Polish border, attacked border guards and police officers with dangerous items including stones, petards, and bottles filled with liquid. Additionally, cut barbed wire was thrown under vehicle tires, resulting in damage to a border patrol vehicle. The incidents illustrate ongoing tensions and attempts to breach the Poland-Belarus border, underscoring ongoing migration pressure and conflict with border security forces.
