Brandstiftelse i et lager for byggematerialer i Warszawa
Den 23. maj 2024 satte en colombiansk statsborger, senere identificeret af polske efterforskere som Andres D., ild til et lager for byggematerialer i Warszawas Targówek-distrikt. Branden forblev relativt begrænset og blev hurtigt slukket, men en del af de lagrede varer blev beskadiget. Efterforskerne fastslog, at gerningsmanden var ankommet til Warszawa kun tre dage tidligere og havde modtaget instruktioner om mål og angrebsmetoder, herunder forberedelse af brandanordninger. De polske myndigheder konkluderede senere, at han handlede for en udenlandsk efterretningstjeneste, og ABW erklærede, at hans aktiviteter blev bestilt, overvåget og finansieret af en person med forbindelse til russiske specialtjenester. Optagelser lavet under operationen blev transmitteret til hans bagmænd og udgjorde senere en del af russisksproget propaganda- og desinformationsaktivitet. Fordi brandene i Warszawa og Radom fandt sted på forskellige datoer og på separate steder, bør de registreres som to hændelser i stedet for en enkelt operation på to lokationer.

On 23 May 2024, a Colombian national later identified by Polish investigators as Andres D. set fire to a construction-material depot in Warsaw’s Targówek district. The fire remained relatively limited and was rapidly extinguished, but part of the stored merchandise was damaged. Investigators established that the perpetrator had arrived in Warsaw only three days earlier and had received instructions concerning targets and methods of attack, including preparation of incendiary devices. Polish authorities later concluded that he was acting for a foreign intelligence service, and ABW stated that his activities were commissioned, supervised and financed by a person connected to Russian special services. Recordings made during the operation were transmitted to his handlers and later formed part of Russian-language propaganda and disinformation activity. Because the Warsaw and Radom fires occurred on different dates and at separate sites, they should be recorded as two incidents, rather than a single two-location operation.
