According to Estonian public broadcaster ERR (citing ABC News), Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated on Tuesday that Poland thwarted a possible provocation overnight on the border with Russia's Kaliningrad oblast. Border guards observed suspicious movement and people using flashlights in the border area, but, according to Tusk, managed to prevent a potential incident. He said that shortly after midnight he received a report from the Border Guard that suspicious movement had been detected on the Polish-Russian border. Poland has strengthened security measures in the eastern part of the country near the borders with Russia and Belarus in an operation involving police, the military, the Border Guard and intelligence services. Tusk noted that additional police and other security forces, including counter-terrorism units, were recently sent to border areas in northeastern Poland following more detailed information received in November about possible acts of sabotage. He said Polish services and allied intelligence agencies have for some time been providing information that diversionary acts, more serious provocations, or even sabotage organized by hostile services could occur on the Russian border. Warnings about possible escalation were also received from NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Alexus Grynkewich, who visited Warsaw in October. The event time is described only as "overnight" and "shortly after midnight" on the night leading into the same Tuesday when Tusk spoke; no specific date or time in UTC is provided in the article.
