flag Poland found migrant tunnels from Belarus, linked to Russia-backed hybrid warfare, prompting border defenses.

flag Polish authorities discovered four underground tunnels near the Belarus-Poland border in early 2025, some extending up to 50 meters into Poland, used to smuggle migrants primarily from Afghanistan and Pakistan. flag The tunnels, reinforced with concrete and hidden in forests, were likely built with Middle Eastern expertise, with possible links to groups like Hamas, Kurdish fighters, or Iranian-backed factions. flag Polish officials attribute the operation to Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, Russia’s ally, as part of a broader hybrid warfare strategy to pressure Western nations over Ukraine. flag The discovery underscores concerns about Russia’s use of migration as a geopolitical tool, prompting Poland to strengthen its border with a 200-kilometer surveillance-equipped fence. flag While Russia’s direct involvement remains unconfirmed, the tunnels are seen as part of a larger campaign involving drone attacks, cyber operations, and sabotage.
