Belarus Warns of Planned Terror Attack on Activist's Children in Poland

Belarusian authorities said on Friday that an individual had been planning a terror attack targeting the children of a Belarusian opposition activist who lives in exile in Poland. The warning was passed to Polish counterparts through security channels, according to officials in Warsaw.

Polish security services confirmed they had opened an investigation into the threat and were working to verify the details of the alleged plot. Officials declined to name the activist or provide further specifics while the inquiry is under way, citing the sensitivity of the case.

The case adds to long-running tensions between Warsaw and Minsk, with Belarusian exiles in Poland repeatedly reporting surveillance and intimidation attempts linked to President Alexander Lukashenko's government. Poland has hosted thousands of Belarusians who fled political repression since 2020.
