A 31-year-old Ukrainian national has been arrested in southeastern Poland following a knife attack at a Benedictine abbey in Jarosław that left a Polish priest dead and four other people injured.
According to local prosecutors, the suspect had entered Poland from Germany earlier on Thursday before entering the monastery grounds. The victims were transported to hospitals with stab wounds, where the priest later died from his injuries.
Polish President Karol Nawrocki said the attack "has shaken us all and demands a firm response from the state," while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also responded to the incident as authorities launched an investigation.
