More than 600 people were evacuated overnight from the Polish border crossings of “Dorohusk” and “Hrebenne” on the border with Ukraine due to the threat of attacks by Russian drones.
This was reported during an emergency meeting at the Polish Government Security Center, attended via video conference by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, by representatives of the Nadbużański Division of the Polish Border Guard, according to a Ukrinform correspondent.
According to them, starting at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, vehicle processing was periodically suspended on the Ukrainian side due to the threat of Russian drone attacks. Poland, in response to the situation in Ukraine, also suspended processing at its border crossing points.
Border guards noted that Ukraine had warned for several days in a row about the possible threat of attacks by Russian drones and had asked the Polish side to temporarily suspend processing at certain border crossing points.
Specifically, on September 10, there were three such requests regarding the “Dorohusk-Jagodzin” border crossing and two regarding the “Zosin–Ustyluh” border crossing. On September 11, the Ukrainian side requested once that processing be suspended at the “Dorohusk-Jagodzin” border crossing, and on September 12, twice at the “Dorohusk-Jagodzin” border crossing and twice at the “Zosin–Ustyluh” border crossing. According to Polish border guards, frequent warnings began to arrive following Russian attacks on Ukrainian border crossings on the border with Moldova.
