The State Border Committee of Belarus has not yet commented on the information.
It became known earlier that the Belarusian border guards are allowed to shoot without the likelihood of a threat to life after the possible seizure of a Belarusian soldier by the Polish Security Forces.
Anatoly Lappo, the head of the State Border Committee (GPC), made such an announcement on the air of Belarus 1, the state television channel, on January 24.
“I gave the command to use weapons without delay,” he said.
