Poland Deploys Counterterror Police to Kaliningrad Border as 2-8 November Sabotage Alert Takes Hold

Summary
Additional police units, including counter-terrorism forces, were sent to Poland’s northeastern border provinces after authorities received intelligence that sabotage could occur near Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave in the coming days.
Police chief Marek Boroń said the operation is based on information from external security services and is being coordinated with the army, border guard and intelligence agencies to protect residents and critical sites.
A nationwide order had already put officers on full readiness for 2-8 November; police later said it was tied not to Warsaw court protests but to sabotage and subversion threats from eastern intelligence services.
The warning fits a broader pattern: Poland has blamed Russia and Belarus for hybrid attacks, while this year alone it reported a 42-second Russian helicopter incursion and a Russian cruise missile landing inside Poland.
