Poland Thwarts Plot Amid Hybrid Warfare Tensions

Polish authorities have detained eight individuals suspected of planning sabotage as part of a 'hybrid war' by Russia aimed at destabilizing supporters of Ukraine. The operation involved reconnaissance and preparation for attacking military and critical infrastructure. Further investigations are ongoing.

Polish security forces have detained eight people allegedly plotting sabotage operations across the country, as announced by Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

Authorities claim that Poland has been a target of hybrid warfare tactics, including cyberattacks, linked to Russia's efforts to destabilize pro-Ukraine nations. Russia has denied these allegations.

Tomasz Siemoniak, the minister overseeing special services, highlighted the arrests were related to reconnaissance on military and infrastructure targets, and efforts to execute sabotage attacks. Investigations continue.
