Polish Prime Minister Tusk reported that suspicious activity was observed on the Russian border

Prime Minister Tusk made statements about the security situation on the border of the Kaliningrad exclave at the press conference he held before the cabinet meeting.

Stating that he received information from the border guards that suspicious activity was observed on the Kaliningrad border just after midnight, Tusk said, "There were people carrying flashlights. We very quickly dispatched the necessary security forces and equipment to the region." he said.

Tusk said that they prevented a possible provocation, but could not confirm whether the other party had such an intention.

Stating that the border guards evaluated the situation as requiring full mobilization and on-site control, Tusk stated that the tension and escalation originating from Russia may continue, so Poland should be constantly on alert.

Stating that the security units of the allied countries have been warning for a long time that there may be serious provocations or sabotage attempts prepared by enemy services on the border between Poland and Russia, Tusk noted that this information coincides with the warnings conveyed to him by the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe (SACEUR) Alexus Grynkewich during his visit to Poland.

Tusk explained that they decided to send police forces to the northeast of the country and reinforce border guards and anti-terrorism units after receiving notice that various events, including the entry of armed people into Polish territory, could occur.

Polish Police Chief Marek Boron reported that an operation was organized on November 2, in line with intelligence received that sabotage actions could be carried out on the Kaliningrad border.

Kaliningrad, Russia's westernmost territory, has been an exclave since 1991.

Exclave is used to describe the territory of a state that has been cut off from its mainland by the intervention of another state.
