Last week, authorities received a warning from the Military Intelligence Service, as well as allied services, that diversionary actions could take place on the border with Russia – including border violations by armed groups.

The police secure the royal region for possible events that could lead to acts of diversion – says RMF FM Marek Boroń. Therefore, reinforcements from police commands from several voivodships [jurisdictions: comparable to a county] came to the borderland. This is due to the information we also have from external services. We are to take care of the safety of the citizens who live there, but also of outposts and all kinds of situations that can be a threat to society – he adds.

There is a large group of police officers operating there, some of the police forces have been transferred there, also in this operation there are counter-terrorists, we cooperate with the army, border guards and special services – adds the chief police officer.
