Polish security officials have launched an investigation into a potential assassination plot directed at Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz. The alert was initiated after the State Protection Service (SOP) transmitted a report to the police regarding the alleged threat.

Interior ministry spokeswoman Karolina Galecka confirmed that the government is treating the information seriously, leading to emergency-level security discussions. While the specific details regarding the origin or nature of the threat remain limited, the involvement of the SOP—the agency responsible for the protection of high-ranking state officials—indicates that the government is taking active measures to ensure the safety of the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister.

There is slight variation in how the outlets characterize the nature of the report. Al Jazeera and Breitbart describe the situation as a "plot to assassinate" or "attack," while the South China Morning Post (SCMP) frames the development as an investigation into "suspected assassination attempts." Despite these minor differences in phrasing, all sources agree that the police received official information regarding a credible security concern and are currently conducting a probe into the matter. No arrests or specific suspects have been publicly identified by the authorities at this stage of the investigation.
