Shocked and saddened by the events in Krakow today. Condolences to all those affected by this tragedy and to all our Polish friends 💔🇵🇱🇮🇸
Podsumowanie: Strzały w centrum Krakowa, są zabici i ranni. W zdarzeniu na Rynku Głównym śmierć poniosło pięć osób, a kilkanaście zostało rannych – przekazała małopolska policja. Sprawca zamachu został postrzelony i zatrzymany przez policjantów. Na miejscu zdarzenia trwa akcja służb ratowniczych.
Do strzelaniny doszło tuż po godz. 15.00 w rejonie ul. Sławkowskiej.
Według przekazywanych przez służby informacji, sprawca miał oddawać strzały z przejeżdżającego samochodu.
Jak podaje krakowskie MPK, na Placu Wszystkich Świętych został ostrzelany tramwaj linii nr 1 przez osobę z przejeżdżającego samochodu. Rozbita została szyba w kabinie prowadzącego. Nikt z pasażerów i motorniczy nie odnieśli obrażeń.
Sprawca został postrzelony przez policjantów i zatrzymany w rejonie skrzyżowania ul. Dietla i Stradomskiej.
„Jestem na bieżąco informowany przez ministra spraw wewnętrznych o sytuacji w Krakowie po tragicznej strzelaninie. Policja bada tło i wszystkie okoliczności zamachu” – napisał na platformie X premier Donald Tusk.
Służby apelują o to, by nie zbliżać się do miejsc, w których pracują policjanci i ratownicy. Należy stosować się do poleceń, a w razie zagrożenia dzwonić pod numer 112. #Kraków
„Straszne wiadomości z pięknego Krakowa.
Łączę się w bólu z ofiarami i ich bliskimi.
Kondolencje dla wszystkich naszych polskich przyjaciół, Islandia jest z Wami solidarna
w tym trudnym czasie ❤️🇵🇱🇮🇸” - Minister Spraw Zagranicznych Islandii @thorgkatrin.

The @arcticcircleorg, hosted by Iceland in early October, and the recent Warsaw Forum both highlighted key challenges shaping the region’s future.
Security, technology and climate change remain key priorities for Iceland and its allies in safeguarding a stable and secure Arctic.

Thank you!
Together with other Heads of Mission in Kyiv we take note with concern of the Russian MFA's threat against diplomats and foreign citizens in Ukraine.
Russia is bound by the Vienna Convention and international humanitarian law.
We stay in Kyiv 🇮🇸🇺🇦

Iceland stands firmly behind Ukraine. Today I joined 🇺🇦 FM @andrii_sybiha and many of my colleagues before #UNSC meeting to call on Russia to stop its aggression and engage meaningfully in negotiations.
Together with @kajakallas and @jnbarrot, we held a stakeout ahead of today’s UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine.
51 UN Member States stand together today. Ukraine accepted a full, immediate, and unconditional ceasefire back in March 2025. Together, we call on Russia to finally do the same and engage seriously in diplomacy.
This is a united call for Russia to stop its aggression and choose peace.

At #HRC63, 🇮🇸 FM @thorgkatrin on behalf of #NB8, condemned Russia’s imposition of military education on Ukrainian children and called for civilians and civilian infrastructure to be protected.
We stand in solidarity with Ukraine and support a just and lasting peace.
Last week, our Ambassador @FridrikJonsson hosted Iceland's National Day event at Kyiv’s @warmuseum_ua.
Thank you, @YPerebyinis, for your inspiring words about connection, solidarity and the 🇮🇸🇺🇦 partnership!

The event featured a film about Icelandic women’s empowerment and the opening of an art exhibition.
You can now see the sculptures by Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir at the Museum — and experience the meaning of ARMORS in the capital of a nation forced to defend itself every day.

Thank your for your visit @andrii_sybiha and for the substantive discussions. Iceland stands firmly with Ukraine 🇮🇸🇺🇦
🇺🇦🇮🇸 On my way to the UNGA high-level week, I am pleased to pay my first bilateral visit to Iceland.
I held productive talks with my Icelandic colleague, Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir @thorgkatrin, building on the recent visits by President Zelenskyy and Chairman Stefanchuk.
I informed my colleague about the situation in Ukraine, Russia's relentless terror, the blockade in the Black Sea, and our ongoing peace efforts.
We followed up on the agreements reached during President Zelenskyy's visit and agreed to accelerate preparations for the signing of the Drone Deal between our countries.
Ukraine is ready to share its unique experience in protecting critical infrastructure with our closest friends, among whom Iceland undoubtedly ranks.
We also discussed ways to deepen practical cooperation between Ukraine and the Joint Expeditionary Force.
Ahead of the UNGA high-level week, we coordinated our positions on the most pressing international issues.
We paid special attention to Russia's destabilising activities across Europe and ways to counter them.
Energy resilience remains a critical issue ahead of winter — and I am grateful to Iceland for its readiness to continue vital support.
I thanked Minister Gunnarsdóttir for her strong personal engagement, for her advocacy of our shared initiatives in every international forum, and for Iceland's consistent and sincere support for Ukraine.

Thank you @ZelenskyyUa for a sincere and informative discussion in Keflavík today. Iceland stands firmly with Ukraine, and our support in the face of Russia’s aggression remains steadfast. 🇮🇸🇺🇦
On my way to Canada, I met with Iceland’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, @thorgkatrin.
We discussed Ukraine’s preparations for the winter, the protection of our energy sector, and strengthening our air defense. We count on continued cooperation and Iceland’s contributions to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund. The assistance provided earlier is already yielding concrete results, and we are grateful for that.
We also discussed cooperation in the technology and defense sectors, where Ukraine is ready to share its experience with partners. I am grateful to Iceland for its support.
