Story summary

On October 11, 2026, the Polish police received information about a potential attack targeting Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz. The Interior Ministry spokesperson, Karolina Galecka, announced that authorities had ordered immediate action in response to this threat. This alert follows recent violent incidents in schools, including one fatal stabbing of a school caretaker on October 6. An emergency meeting was scheduled for 11:00 AM local time (9:00 AM GMT) at the Internal Security Agency’s Counter-Terrorism Centre to discuss the situation further. Poland has been under heightened security due to concerns over Russian hybrid warfare tactics and their impact on NATO's eastern flank, particularly in support of Ukraine amid Russia's invasion.
