Poland prepares Firestorm-26 military drills near the Russian border, with troops and equipment set to appear on roads and in public areas.<\/p>\n

The Polish army is\u00a0preparing to\u00a0hold military exercises in\u00a0the east of\u00a0the country, near the Russian border, the PAP<\/a> news agency reported. During the Firestorm-26 drills, residents may see soldiers and military equipment in\u00a0populated areas and on\u00a0roads as\u00a0troops carry out training tasks.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0the agency, the activities are purely instructional and form part of\u00a0the planned training schedule of\u00a0the Polish Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

The press service of\u00a0the 4th Warmian-Masurian Territorial Defence Brigade did not disclose the dates, locations or\u00a0scenario of\u00a0the maneuvers. At\u00a0the same time, the military urged local residents to\u00a0remain calm, stressing that the increased presence of\u00a0troops in\u00a0the region does not pose a\u00a0threat to\u00a0public safety.<\/p>\n

Polish command also asked citizens not to\u00a0publish photos or\u00a0videos showing soldiers, military vehicles or\u00a0infrastructure involved in\u00a0the exercises. Information about the location, routes or\u00a0deployment of\u00a0units must not be\u00a0shared either. Residents were advised to\u00a0exercise extra caution on\u00a0roads and follow the instructions of\u00a0traffic safety services.<\/p>\n

Earlier in\u00a0May, Poland hosted the multinational Amber Shock 2026 exercises, involving more than 3,500 troops from NATO countries. Units of\u00a0the U. S. Army\u2019s\u00a02nd Cavalry Regiment took part in\u00a0the maneuvers, along with forces from Poland and other alliance members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Poland prepares Firestorm-26 military drills near the Russian border, with troops and equipment set to appear on roads…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11210,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[8289,8285,8288,9,8284,3536,8286,8287],"class_list":["post-11209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-poland","tag-amber-shock-2026","tag-firestorm-26","tag-nato-exercises","tag-poland","tag-poland-military-drills","tag-polish-army","tag-russian-border","tag-territorial-defence-brigade"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11209"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11209\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
