Warsaw: Poland is strengthening security infrastructure at several border crossings with Ukraine following recent drone incidents near the frontier.

Polish Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said military engineers had begun reinforcing facilities used by the Border Guard. The work includes additional protective structures designed to provide greater protection against potential blast effects.

Observation and guard posts are also being constructed near important crossings, including Dorohusk, Medyka and Korczowa.

The decision follows recent Russian drone attacks on western Ukraine. One drone struck a passenger train near the Polish border, while another hit an area close to a fuel station near the Dorohusk-Yahodyn crossing.

Although the incidents occurred on the Ukrainian side of the border, their proximity has increased security concerns in Poland. Polish authorities have consequently ordered additional protective measures around border infrastructure and personnel.

Military engineers are using reinforced barriers that can be filled with sand or gravel to create protective walls around vulnerable locations. The structures are intended to strengthen existing security arrangements without permanently changing the border facilities.

Polish authorities are also maintaining close coordination between the military and Border Guard as the security situation in the region develops.

The measures form part of Poland’s broader effort to protect its eastern frontier while the war in Ukraine continues. The country has also been strengthening surveillance and defensive infrastructure along its borders.

The latest developments are particularly significant for transport and trade because Polish-Ukrainian crossings handle substantial passenger and freight traffic.

Officials have emphasized that border operations will continue while additional security measures are introduced. Construction work is being carried out alongside normal border-management activities.

The Polish government is continuing to monitor developments in neighboring Ukraine and assess whether further protective measures are necessary.

The situation demonstrates how developments in the Ukraine war are increasingly affecting security planning along Poland’s eastern frontier, particularly around important transportation and border facilities.
