Woman Detained with Canister Near PM Tusk's Office

An elderly woman was arrested at Poland's chancellery after asking to see Prime Minister Donald Tusk and showing a suspicious canister. The attack came on Thursday morning and sparked an immediate response by security forces.

The woman reportedly walked up to the officers and demanded to talk to the prime minister, according to the spokesperson of the State Protection Service (SOP), Colonel BogusÅ‚aw Piórkowski. When she was told that he was not there at the moment, she went to the benches nearby, across the street.

Immediate Response by Security Services
An SOP officer saw the woman holding a canister, which caused suspicion that it was a hazardous substance. The emergency services were soon on the scene. They also found a lighter, prompting further safety fears.

Video from the scene later showed a red petrol canister with a black nozzle lying on the ground. The woman was subsequently rushed away in an ambulance, and experts are now examining the contents of the container.

Officials Confirm No Terrorist Intent
Interior Ministry spokesman Jacek Dobrzyński later said that a canister was found in the room, and it appears to have been "full of gasoline." He added that there was nothing to suggest the incident was terror-related, adding: "I want to make it clear this was not a terrorist attacker."

The woman's motives and what was inside the canister are still being probed by authorities.

The newly appointed prime minister, who was sworn into office just last Saturday after his center-right Tisza party swept to a landslide election victory, has confirmed that Poland will be the destination of his first official trip abroad. The visit, set for next week, is widely seen as a deliberate first step toward mending a relationship between Warsaw and Budapest that became deeply strained during the long reign of his predecessor, Viktor Orbán.

    Trump Says Ceasefire Holds Despite U.S.-Iran Gulf Clashes

    Tensions between the United States and Iran flared dramatically on Thursday when naval forces from both sides exchanged fire in the Gulf, raising serious concerns about the fragile ceasefire that had been holding since April 7. The fighting put a month-old truce under serious strain and cast fresh doubt on diplomatic efforts to bring the conflict — sparked by joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran on February 28 — to a negotiated close. Despite the violence, President Donald Trump insisted the ceasefire was still technically in place and downplayed the incident with characteristic bluntness.

    Armenia Declares It Is Not Russia's Ally in Ukraine War

    Armenia has made its position crystal clear — it does not stand with Russia in the war against Ukraine. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said publicly that his country is "not an ally" of Russia, a statement that landed like a thunderbolt in Moscow. The timing made it even more pointed. Just days earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had visited Yerevan for the first time in 24 years to attend the European Political Community summit — a gathering of roughly 48 European leaders that sent a loud signal about which direction Armenia is heading.

    US Ends Oil Sanctions Waivers, Targets Iran and Russia

    Washington has quietly but firmly shut the door on a policy that had been generating controversy for weeks. The United States has decided not to renew a temporary waiver that had allowed Iranian oil to continue flowing to global markets, and has also let a separate waiver on Russian oil at sea expire without renewal. Two administration officials confirmed the decisions, which mark a sharp pivot toward full enforcement of sanctions that had previously been softened under the banner of energy price relief. The Iranian waiver is set to officially expire on April 19, while the Russian waiver already lapsed over the weekend.
