PM: No imminent danger to citizens in connection with worsening security situation

There is no imminent danger to Czech citizens in connection with the worsening global security situation following the Hamas attacks on Israel, Prime Minister Petr Fiala said after Thursday’s meeting of the National Security Council. “Our intelligence services have no information indicating that the risk of terrorist attacks against targets in the Czech Republic has increased,” the prime minister said. He added however, that the government was taking the matter seriously and had ordered strict security measures to minimize possible risks and protect institutions and individuals who might be potential targets.
