Poland's Interior Ministry announced on the 11th (local time) that there was a possible assassination attempt on Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Władysław Kośniakkamys.

According to AFP and Euronews, Interior Minister Carolina Galecka said at a press briefing on this day that a report on this had been delivered to the police through the State Protection Service (SOP).

In relation to this incident, security agency officials, including the police and the National Protection Agency, held an emergency special meeting on this day.

Authorities did not disclose details about the threat or link it to the war between Russia and Ukraine.

In Poland, recent incidents such as cyber attacks on water and energy infrastructure and hospitals and damage to railway lines have occurred, and concerns have grown about the threat of hybrid attacks from Russia.

Additionally, in Poland, there have been three knife attacks at schools over the past four days, leading to heightened alert. On the 8th, a 15-year-old suspect brandished a weapon at an elementary school, killing a 37-year-old janitor, and on the 7th, 9 people were injured in a knife attack at a vocational school complex. On the 10th, a 21-year-old suspect brandished a weapon and injured three students.

Prime Minister Tusk said at a government meeting this morning that the series of school stabbing incidents appear to be 'nihilistic violence' driven by pessimistic values ​​rather than a specific political ideology.

"We are not dealing with any specific, large-scale organized group. It is often a spontaneous act inspired by online activity," he said, pointing out that online 'glorification of violence' encourages such crimes.
