Poland charges six persons with sabotage plotting on behalf of foreign intelligence services.
Polish prosecutors announced that six individuals (three Polish and three Belarusian nationals) had been formally charged with planning acts of sabotage at the direction of foreign intelligence services, which Polish authorities implicate as Russian in origin. According to the public statement, the accused purchased reconnaissance equipment, conducted surveillance on transport infrastructure, and targeted logistics nodes used for transferring military aid to Ukraine. The planning reportedly included drone deployment, covert mapping of railway and port facilities, and financial transactions from abroad. While no finalised physical attack had been publicly documented at the time of the charges, the operation fits the preparatory phase of sabotage—a hallmark of hybrid-warfare campaigns aiming to undermine infrastructure rather than immediate destruction.
