The shooting championship will bring together border guards from all over Belarus in the Polotsk region
The shooting competition of the Belarusian border guard agencies with service weapons opens today in the Polotsk district, as reported to a BELTA correspondent by Denis Glebko, assistant head of the Polotsk Border Guard Detachment for media relations.
Fourteen teams representing all units of the republic's border guard agencies will take part in the competition, which will be held at the military firing range of the Polotsk Border Guard Detachment in the village of Farinovo.
