WARSAW, Poland—Poland accused Belarus on Nov. 3 of staging an armed cross-border intrusion and said it had summoned the Belarusian charge d'affaires in protest over what it said was “a deliberate escalation” of the migrant crisis at the frontier.
Belarus rejected the allegation as unfounded and intended to sully its image. Minsk also denies Polish and European Union accusations that it’s deliberately encouraging illegal migrants to enter Poland and other EU states via Belarusian territory.
