Polish police arrest man suspected of planning attack on Prime Minister Donald Tusk

Polish police arrested a man suspected of planning an attack on Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński announced on Sunday. Kierwiński gave no details on the suspect's identity or the type of attack planned. Tusk thanked the police on X for 'fast and decisive action.' The arrest came amid heightened security following three school stabbings in Mazovia province within four days, which left one dead and many wounded. Authorities also cited fears of a possible Russian hybrid attack aimed at weakening Western support for Ukraine. Jacek Dobrzyński, spokesperson for the minister overseeing intelligence services, said there was a 'high probability' the threats would be carried out. Government spokesperson Adam Szłapka said the threat was 'exceptionally concerning.' In September, Tusk warned of likely intensified hybrid attacks by Russia on NATO's eastern flank, including drone or rocket strikes on European countries supporting Ukraine.
