Polsat News reported that prosecutors plan to open an investigation on Sunday into Saturday's attack at Krakow's Main Market Square, treating it as an act of a terrorist nature. The reported move would put the case on a serious investigative track, while the grounds for that proposed classification have not been published in the supplied material.
Polsat News also reported that the attack by a 24-year-old killed six people and injured 16. In a later update, Lesser Poland voivode Krzysztof Klęczar said 16 people were in hospital. He said a police officer injured while detaining the alleged attacker remained in serious condition; the alleged attacker was in critical condition, according to the report.
The proposed terrorism-related classification is a procedural direction, not a public account of motive, evidence or eventual charges. Those distinctions matter: the reports do not identify the legal provisions prosecutors would use or describe the evidence behind their planned action.
The immediate story is therefore twofold: continuing treatment for people injured in the attack and a planned prosecutorial response whose legal basis has yet to be publicly detailed. Further statements from prosecutors will determine whether the investigation is formally opened and how they frame the case.
