WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Polish authorities say there are no more migrants camping along the Belarus side of the European Union’s eastern border, but attempts at illegally crossing into the bloc’s territory are continuing and becoming more aggressive. Hundreds of Iraqis flew back home Thursday from Belarus after abandoning their hopes of entering the EU. Still, many migrants hoping to reach European soil remained Friday in a heated warehouse that Belarus recently made available near the border. They had been camping in a cold and wet forest since Nov. 8. Ukraine, which borders both Belarus and Russia, said Friday it would build a fence along its border with those neighbors.
