Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk has revealed that the country’s security services have detained eight people on suspicion of plotting sabotage in different regions of the country.
Officials have said Poland has been the target of actions such as arson and cyber attacks in a “hybrid war” being waged by Russia to destabilize countries that support Ukraine in its war with Russia, which denies such accusations.
“The ABW (internal security service), in cooperation with other agencies, detained eight people in different parts of the country in the last few days, on suspicion of preparing acts of sabotage,” Tusk wrote in X.
“Further operational activities are continuing,” he added without giving further details.
