JAKARTA - Poland has said it will send troops to assist France in increasing security during the Paris Olympics, after the French government raised terror warnings to its highest level.

Hosts of the Olympics, which will take place from July 26 to August 11, announced the increase in the level of vigilance after a concert building in Moscow was attacked, claiming at least 143 lives.

"The Polish armed forces will join the international coalition formed by France with the aim of supporting preparations and securing the 2024 Olympics," Defense Minister Wldyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said in X, without specifying the number of troops reported by ANTARA, Thursday, March 28.

"A task force of our army, which includes sniffer dogs, will be deployed to Paris. The main goal is to carry out operations related to the detection of explosives and prevent terrorism," Kosiniak-Kamysz continued.

The Polish armed forces themselves announced that they had made a decision on this matter.

"We are in the process of forming a task force for the Olympics," a spokesman for the Polish armed forces, Joanna Klejszmit, told AFP.
