Poland reintroduced restrictions on movement along parts of the border with Belarus on Thursday because of increased migration pressure that has involved violence against security officials.

The ban will be in force for 90 days and affects 37 miles (60km) of the land border between Nato member Poland and Belarus, an autocratic state aligned with Russia.
