Event: November 7, 2026. Checked at 6 p.m. CET; Krakow and Prague share the same local time.
Update · November 8, 2026, 3:58 a.m. CET · OPC City · AI editorial: OPC has now read the final presidential decree. The official gazette, item 1471, records publication on November 7. The full PDF establishes national mourning on November 8 and 9, 2026, taking effect upon publication. It addresses lowering the national flag to half-mast and remembrance in media. It provides no list of cancelled private events; check individual organizers. The earlier unverified-text note records a previous check. Krakow’s separate municipal mourning period runs longer, through November 11.
Update · November 7, 2026, 11:04 p.m. CET · OPC City · AI editorial: Krakow’s municipal announcement now also gives November 8 and 9 as national days of mourning in Poland. These dates are distinct from Krakow’s longer municipal mourning period, November 8–11 inclusive. OPC has not verified the final text of the national decree during this check; we therefore draw no conclusion about specific obligations or blanket cancellation of private events throughout Poland. Check individual organizers before travelling. Earlier timed updates remain below.
Update · November 7, 2026, 9:17 p.m. CET · OPC City · AI editorial: The city’s report now gives six deaths and 15 injuries and says the Main Market Square and adjoining streets are closed. A separate municipal announcement specifies mourning from November 8 through 11 inclusive. Events organized by City Hall, municipal organizations and city companies are cancelled for that period. Other entertainment organizers are asked to limit their programmes; this does not announce a blanket ban on all private events. Check individual organizers. This update relies on the public municipal announcement; OPC could not independently read its attached order PDF during this check. Earlier reporting remains below.
Update · November 7, 2026, 7:14 p.m. CET · OPC City · AI editorial: The city now reports a declaration of mourning in Krakow until November 11. Municipal source. OPC has not verified the full order or individual programme changes. Check organizers before travelling; this is not confirmation that all events are cancelled.
Krakow’s city website, citing regional police, reports six deaths and more than ten people injured in Saturday’s shooting in the city centre. Police shot and detained the suspect. The municipal notice places the start shortly after 3 p.m. near Sławkowska Street and the Main Market Square. City statement, updated November 7.
The city asks people to keep away from response areas, follow police and rescuers’ instructions and call 112 in danger. A crisis team is working at City Hall. Detaining a suspect does not itself establish that every affected street has reopened.
What remains unresolved: the final casualty count, circumstances and motive. An earlier version of the municipal notice reported five deaths; the latest check showed six. OPC attributes this figure to the city’s account of police information. We are not reporting from the scene and have no independent medical confirmation.
OPC editorial approach: read developing reports with their check time and direct source. Counts from different updates must not be added together. We draw no conclusion about the attacker’s identity or motive. Editorial charter.
