Poland strengthened its border with neighboring Belarus by adding nearly 3,000 soldiers as the country recently reported record-high migration levels, prompting stepped-up security measures, the defense minister said on Tuesday.

“Almost 6,000 soldiers from the 16th, 18th, and 12th divisions are serving on the Polish-Belarusian border,” Polish Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said in a statement on social media.
