Poland Increases Troops at Border Amid Accusations of Airspace Violation by Belarus

Poland accuses Belarus of violating its airspace after two Belarusian helicopters reportedly crossed into Polish territory near the border. Belarus denies the allegation, calling it a pretext for Poland's military buildup. Poland initially denied the incursion but later confirmed it, stating that the helicopters flew at a low altitude to avoid radar detection. NATO has been informed of the incident. Poland and neighboring countries on NATO's eastern flank have expressed concerns about a potential threat from Belarus, particularly due to the presence of Wagner mercenaries near the border. Poland has accused Belarus of facilitating the influx of migrants into the EU, a claim denied by Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko.
