Hundreds of migrants try to force their way across the Polish-Belarusian border
According to Polish authorities the Polish army supported by the police is preventing hundreds of migrants from crossing the Polish-Belarusian border near Kuznica. For several months, thousands of migrants, allegedly encouraged by Alexander Lukashenko's regime, have been trying to cross the border illegally to enter the European Union.
Emergency services are on scene after several explosions rocked Ukraine's capital overnight. One of the missiles hit the Sviatoshynskyi district of Kyiv, setting multiple cars on fire. Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said two people were injured and 15 percent of households were without power and 40 percent without heating following the explosions. IMAGES
