[Regnum] Poland has stepped up security measures at its border with Russia due to the appearance of people carrying flashlights. This was announced by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on November 3.
"Just after midnight, I received a message from a border guard about alarming movement on the Polish-Russian border in the north. People with flashlights," RMF24 radio quoted Tusk as saying.
According to the prime minister, the Polish government quickly mobilized the necessary forces and resources, managing to prevent any provocations that might have occurred. Tusk recalled that Polish and allied intelligence services had issued advance warnings of possible incidents on the Russian border in the first half of November.
It was previously reported that Poland would transform the 4th Warmia-Masuria Territorial Defense Brigade into a border defense brigade by the end of 2026. Brigade commander Colonel Cezary Kiszkowiak clarified that it would defend the border with the Kaliningrad Oblast due to information about an alleged threat of sabotage. Furthermore, Poland has established a special operations headquarters, which will be conducted by the police in cooperation with the military, border guards, and special forces.
