New military powers to protect Baltic Sea and critical infrastructure

The law expands the military and Border Guard's ability to use force at sea. Soldiers will be able to shoot at targets threatening Polish ships, gas pipelines and wind farms in the Baltic Sea. The changes aim to increase Poland's energy and defense security.
Key points
Military and Border Guard can use weapons against direct threats at sea, including attacks on ships and critical infrastructure.
Navy warships gain intervention powers in territorial waters, previously reserved for the Border Guard.
Unit commanders can decide to destroy missiles heading towards Poland, also in automatic mode.
Special protection covers the Baltic Pipe gas pipeline, offshore wind farms and submarine power and fiber optic cables.
Weapon use is a last resort – a warning shot is fired first, unless the unit is already under fire.
