Now the number has fallen to several dozen daily.<\/p>\n<p>In parallel, work continues on upgrading the border protection system. Construction of the technical road is nearing completion, and new observation towers are being built. The ministry stresses that strengthening the infrastructure is necessary, as migrant groups continuously seek new ways to cross the border, and it is important to stay ahead of their actions.<\/p>\n<p>Since the start of the year, more than 29,000 attempts to cross the Polish-Belarusian border illegally have been prevented. Nearly 300 organizers of illegal migration have been detained.<\/p>\n<p>Around 2,200 officers from the Podlaskie Border Guard Unit are involved in protecting the state border, supported by the police and the Polish Armed Forces under Operation \u201cSafe Podlasie\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Poland plans to reopen the <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ku\u017anica Bia\u0142ostocka<\/span> and Bobrowniki border checkpoints at 02:00 Belarus time on 17 November. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ku\u017anica <\/span> (Bruzgi) will open for passenger vehicles, excluding buses, while Bobrowniki (Berastavitsa) will reopen for buses and trucks registered in EU member states, the European Free Trade Association, the European Economic Area and Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>Poland closed traffic through the Bruzgi\u2013<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ku\u017anica <\/span> crossing in the Hrodna region in autumn 2021, when unrest involving migrants broke out near the checkpoint.
