The State Border Committee of Belarus accused Ukrainian border guards of provocation and violation of the state border.
The department's statement says that the day before, Mozyr border guards found «elements of a military uniform» on one of the pillars. They came to the conclusion that «an unknown person crossed the border from Ukrainian territory».
«Vain and ridiculous attempts to provoke a response from the Belarusian border guards» — this is how the border committee assessed what happened.
It is indicated that an administrative process has been initiated on the fact of the incident.
