Poland deploys counter-terror police to Russian border amid sabotage warnings

Poland has deployed police counterterrorism units to its northeastern border with Russia's Kaliningrad exclave, following intelligence warnings of potential sabotage in the coming days.

The national police chief, Marek Boroń, confirmed the units are operating in the Warmian-Masurian and Podlaskie regions alongside the military and border guards. The move follows warnings from Polish and allied intelligence services last week about possible acts of sabotage near the border, including potential incursions by armed groups.

The deployment heightens vigilance along a sensitive NATO frontier; both Poland and neighbouring Lithuania border the Russian territory. The alert comes a day after an unidentified object entered Latvian airspace, prompting a brief air raid warning. Mr Boroń denied any link between the mobilisation and Poland's separate, ongoing constitutional crisis.
