Poland's border guards detain 45 refugees from a group of 500 that attempted to crossover from Belarus
Overall border guards recorded 255 attempted crossings on Thursday.
Since the beginning of the year, Poland's border guard service says it has recorded over 34,000 attempted crossings from Belarus, including over 6,000 so far in November, nearly 17,300 in October, close to 7,700 in September and over 3,500 in August when the crisis began. While there has been a decline in the number of attempted breaches over the last month, Michalska said the "latest attempts have become more aggressive."Minsk said Thursday, as hundreds of Iraqis who failed to make the crossing to enter EU member Poland were flown home, mostly to Iraq.
The EU has accused Belarus of artificially engineering the crisis by encouraging migrants to come to the country with the promise of an easy crossing into the European Union. Minsk has rejected the charges and criticised the EU for not taking in the migrants seeking to cross over.
