Overview
- Police received information on Sunday that named Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak‑Kamysz as potential targets, a statement from Interior Ministry spokesperson Karolina Galecka posted on X said.
- Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński and Minister‑Coordinator Tomasz Siemoniak ordered immediate action and convened an emergency meeting at the Internal Security Agency’s (ABW) Counter‑Terrorism Centre to assess the report.
- Authorities have not released details about who made the threat, how an attack would be carried out, or whether intelligence corroborates the claim, and the situation remains under active investigation.
- Police and security services are keeping a heightened posture after a recent series of violent attacks at schools in Mazovia that included the death of a school caretaker and numerous stabbings.
- The alert is viewed in the context of earlier warnings by Prime Minister Tusk about possible intensified hybrid attacks on NATO’s eastern flank, which officials say shapes how ambiguous threats are treated.
