Overview
- Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the ABW and cooperating services detained eight people across Poland on suspicion of preparing sabotage against military and critical infrastructure.
- Tomasz Siemoniak said the suspects conducted reconnaissance, gathered resources for sabotage, and carried out attacks, while authorities indicated further operational actions are under way.
- Prosecutors opened an investigation into an alleged Russian intelligence scheme that planned by 16 October to send explosive and incendiary parcels to Ukraine.
- Romanian authorities intercepted the parcels before any detonations, and a suspect identified as Danylo H. was arrested in Poland as two Ukrainian citizens were detained in Romania.
- Polish officials say dozens have been detained for suspected sabotage and espionage since 2022 as part of what they describe as hybrid operations targeting supporters of Ukraine, a characterization Russia rejects.
