Polish security services have successfully neutralized a sabotage operation orchestrated by Russia and Belarus. According to Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski, saboteurs operating from Belarus in cooperation with Russia had infiltrated local and central government institutions, including state-owned companies implementing military contracts. The Polish government announced on September 9 that its security forces had broken up the group of saboteurs working for Russian and Belarusian security services. Poland's cybersecurity experts played a crucial role in foiling these attacks, which Poland described as a 'de facto cyberwar.'
