A body of a Syrian national was found in Poland near the border with Belarus, the Polish police said.

According to the police, the cause of death has not been conclusively determined by the on-site investigation.
Several thousand migrants trying to reach the European Union have found themselves stranded at the border between Poland and Belarus in the last few weeks. The Polish authorities have boosted the country's border security, brought in the military and are trying to prevent illegal crossings into its territory in addition to accusing Minsk of instigating the current crisis. Belarus, for its part, has rejected all accusations, claiming that Poland is expelling migrants by force.
Since the beginning of the crisis, bodies of at least five illegal migrants have been found in Poland near the Belarusian border. (ANI/Sputnik)
