C - official suspicion
Prokuratura Krajowa / 2026-08-31 / carrying out the act
The prosecutor qualified the act under the article on participation in the activity of a foreign intelligence service against Poland. The qualification speaks of a foreign service, does not name a state, and is not a finding of responsibility.
Prezes Rady Ministrów Donald Tusk / 2026-09-02 / carrying out the act
The prime minister said there was no doubt this was deliberate arson and an act of sabotage, and that it was likely ordered by Russia, without presenting evidence in his remarks. That is an official suspicion, not a court finding.
The statement contains no casualty information.
