A 15-year-old former student killed one person and injured three others in a school knife attack in Poland on Thursday morning. This incident occurred just a day after another school attack in a different town, where a 19-year-old injured eight people. The attacker in the latest incident also had a homemade explosive device that did not detonate.
Additionally, a 17-year-old boy was arrested for threatening to attack another school, found in possession of knives. These events have caused shock in Poland, where such violent incidents are uncommon. Education Minister Barbara Nowak has warned of the "radicalisation of young people" and called for stricter online content controls.
