Two large groups of migrants crossed the border into Belarus and entered the territory of Poland, the Polish news agency PAP reported late at night.
Dozens of migrants managed to drop parts of the fence in the villages of Krinki and Bialoveza, the agency explained, citing a report by local radio station Bialystok.
The radio station quoted a representative of the Polish border guard as saying that several migrants were taken back to Belarusian territory, but others were able to escape.
On the Belarusian side of the border there are hundreds of people hoping to arrive in a European Union country and seek asylum, mainly in Germany.
Poland has refused to allow them to enter its territory and has deployed hundreds of police at the border in recent weeks. It has also erected barbed wire fences to prevent crossings.
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko on Tuesday called on Warsaw to allow them to cross, explaining that their destination is other countries.
The European Union (EU) has accused Mr Lukashenko of creating a crisis by issuing visas to immigrants and then sending them to Europe, trying to avenge the European sanctions imposed on his government by Brussels over the crackdown on opposition protests. 2020.
The EU is preparing to impose new sanctions on the government in Minsk, on the Belarusian public airline Belavia and on third countries and airlines it deems involved.
