Donald Tusk: A provocation was thwarted at the Polish-Russian border

Polish border guards thwarted a suspected provocation attempt near the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, as reported by Prime Minister Donald Tusk. He noted the detection of "flashlight-wielding individuals" in the border area, but emphasized uncertainty about the nature of the incident. A special operation is underway in two northeastern regions of Poland, with police collaborating with military and intelligence services to enhance border security against potential threats. Tusk warned of possible sabotage actions and armed incursions, citing intelligence reports of increased risks. He has previously indicated that Russia may be preparing a serious hybrid attack against a NATO member state, based on warnings from NATO and intelligence agencies.
