Polish authorities deployed police, border guards and army units after receiving warnings of possible sabotage and armed incursions, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that Poland thwarted an attempted provocation on its border with the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad overnight, saying he was informed of 'disturbing movement' shortly after midnight.
- Authorities had recently received 'more precise' intelligence warning that acts of sabotage or armed incursions were possible in the first half of November, with intelligence suggesting provocations on the border with Russia.
- Tusk reported that 'individuals with flashlights' were observed in the border area, while reinforcements from police headquarters in several provinces arrived to secure the region.
- National Police Chief Marek Boron confirmed the mobilization aims to protect residents and infrastructure, stating 'We must ensure the safety of the citizens living there but also protect the infrastructure' from threats.
- These measures follow warnings from NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Alexus Grynkewich that Moscow is escalating hybrid warfare, as officials fear such incidents are designed to test the alliance's resolve.
