The National Security Service has introduced a national terrorism threat level for Vistaria, Hokoria and Lorc’h, following the deadly shooting in Kraków on November 7.
The threat level has been set at LOW, with no current indication of an incident being likely to take place within Vistaria, Hokoria or Lorc’h. However, the situation will remain under review, with terrorism continuing to pose a threat in neighbouring countries and territories.
“The threat level has been created to inform citizens about any threats they may face in their nations and beyond” the National Security Service said. “Internationally, there is a high threat of terrorism and while there is a LOW threat within our territories, there is a significant threat in neighbouring areas”.
The new terrorism threat level guidance also provides information on the threat levels in Poland, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong, as well as previous incidents in areas surrounding the Kingdom.
Security incidents near the Kingdom
The introduction of the threat level follows the November 7 shooting in Kraków’s Main Square, close to Vistaria-proper, which killed six people and injured 16. The perpetrator was shot by Polish police and later died in hospital. Kraków has also experienced several bomb hoaxes, including an incident in August 2025 which temporarily closed the runway at Kraków Airport after a report of an explosive device on board an aircraft.
Meanwhile, a wave of hoax bomb threats affecting flights across Europe last week resulted in diversions, emergency landings and fighter jet escorts. The incidents are of particular relevance to Dama, which is located next to Leeds Bradford Airport.
Schools across Scotland, including in Glasgow, where Lorc’h is located, have also been affected by threatening messages on October 19 and November 11. Around 1,000 Scottish schools were targeted in the latest incident, with some evacuating as a precaution. Police Scotland has confirmed that the threats are being treated as hoaxes.
Hong Kong, which borders Serenia, has experienced several similar incidents. In June 2025, five people were arrested as part of a national security investigation into bomb threats targeting government offices and Kai Tak Sports Park. In February this year, a man was arrested after allegedly threatening to bomb Admiralty railway station on Lunar New Year’s Day. No explosives were found.
Keeping citizens informed
The National Security Service’s guidance also highlights previous incidents near Dama, including the April 2025 crossbow and air gun attack in Headingley and the attempted bombing of St James’s Hospital in Leeds in January 2023.
While the Kingdom’s national terrorism threat level is LOW, neighbouring countries and territories maintain their own threat assessments. Poland currently maintains its BRAVO and BRAVO-CRP alert levels, while the United Kingdom’s terrorism threat level is Severe and Hong Kong’s is Moderate.
“The threat level is intended to highlight the possibility of an attack” the National Security Service said, adding that it aims to highlight incidents happening locally.
