Polish police announced today (Sunday) that they had received information about a possible attack targeting Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kuciniak-Kamish.

A spokeswoman for the Polish Ministry of the Interior said on Sunday via the X platform that the police had received information about a possible attack on Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defense Minister Władysław Kuciniak-Kamisz, according to Reuters.

Agence France-Presse reported, citing the Ministry of the Interior, that an emergency meeting was held in Poland after information about the assassination plot.

This comes in light of a state of high alert in Poland following violence in two schools that resulted in the killing of a woman in the services department of one of the schools on Thursday.

“After the Polish police received information about a possible attack on Prime Minister Donald Tusk and his deputy and Defense Minister Władysław Kuciniak-Kamiś, Interior Minister Marcin Kęrwiński and Minister of Coordination of Special Services Tomasz Szymoniak issued orders to take the necessary measures in this regard,” spokeswoman Karolina Galiczka wrote.

She added, "A meeting will be held today at 11 a.m. at the Counterterrorism Center of the Homeland Security Agency."

The giant Russian technology company, Yandex, announced today (Sunday) that a Ukrainian drone attack damaged its data center in the east of the capital.

According to Agence France-Presse, Yandex, which is often described as the “Google of Russia,” runs the most popular search engine in the country, in addition to a food ordering application and another taxi service used by tens of millions.

This attack, the third of its kind announced in a week, may indicate the start of a new retaliatory campaign launched by Kiev, targeting the Internet infrastructure in Russia, weeks after Moscow began targeting data centers in Ukraine.

The company stated on Telegram that “as a result of a drone attack, the infrastructure of the Yandex data center in the city of Vladimir was damaged.” Data center operations have come to a complete halt.”

She explained that the rest of the infrastructure resources are “unstable” and that the platform is “broken,” noting at the same time that the attack did not result in casualties, while repair operations are underway.

Yandex reported that its data center in Kaluga was damaged on Friday, after its center in Sasovo was damaged on Thursday, knowing that the two cities are located 150 kilometers southwest of Moscow and 300 kilometers southeast of it, respectively.

During the past three weeks, the Russian army has targeted many data centers and infrastructure belonging to Internet and mobile phone service providers in Ukraine, leading to service outages.

The World Health Organization said on Saturday that it does not know the cause of the pneumonia that claimed the life of a Russian worker this month in a laboratory affiliated with a plague research center in Siberia, adding that no case of plague had been recorded.

The organization stated that the Russian regulatory authority reported that the tests conducted on the worker and everyone who had contact with her were negative for high-risk disease-causing agents, and that those in contact had not yet shown any symptoms, noting that no other cases associated with acute pneumonia had been detected.

The organization added in a statement: “Based on the information provided... the World Health Organization has not established any evidence of continued transmission associated with this case. The absence of a confirmed diagnosis for the deceased laboratory worker remains one of the most significant uncertainties.”

The worker fell ill and died under undisclosed circumstances on October 2, prompting authorities to quarantine about 200 people and raising public health concerns on social media.

Global health officials have been on high alert regarding fatal cases of pneumonia of unknown cause since the “Covid-19” pandemic, which began with an outbreak of cases of the deadly and rapidly spreading respiratory disease in China. The cause of individual cases of pneumonia cannot be determined.
