Poland is to build observation towers along its land border with the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, according to a Polish news agency.
The six towers will be up to 50m (164ft) high and will stream images to Polish guards monitoring the 200km (124-mile) border, the PAP agency says.
The total cost is reported to be 14m zloty (£2.5m; $3.8m), with 75% coming from the EU’s External Borders Fund.
The move follows reports that Russia has deployed missiles to Kaliningrad.
The reported deployment by Russia of short-range Iskander missiles comes amid heightened tensions with the West and Nato over Ukraine.
