Polish soldiers began laying razor wire on Wednesday along Poland's border with the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad.
This is after the government ordered the construction of a barrier to prevent what it fears could become another migration crisis.
Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said a recent decision by Russia’s aviation authority to launch flights from the Middle East and North Africa to Kaliningrad led him to take measures that would strengthen security “by sealing this border.”
Blaszczak said that the border needs to be sealed in order for Poland to feel secure.
He added that he had authorized the construction of a temporary barrier along the 210-kilometre (130-mile) border.
Blaszczak also said the barrier would be made of three rows of razor wire that will be 2½ meters (eight feet) high and three meters (10 feet) wide and with an electronic monitoring system and cameras.
