Poland plans to build six watchtowers along its border with Kaliningrad, a move that comes after Moscow said it will place state-of-the-art Iskander missiles in the Russia exclave, ABC news reported on Monday.
Six such towers would be built along the 200-kilometer (125-mile) border between Poland and Kaliningrad, the Polish news agency PAP cited a spokeswoman for border guards, Miroslawa Aleksandrowicz, as saying.
Aleksandrowicz said that the cost of constructing the towers in Poland, which is on the European Union's eastern flank, would be at least 14 million zlotys (USD3.8 million). Most of that is to come from EU funds.
