The Polish Foreign Ministry issued a strongly worded protest after unknown assailants attacked Polish Embassy Second Secretary Marek Reszuta in Moscow on 10 August, the second such attack on a Polish diplomat since assailants beat up several children of Russian diplomats in Warsaw on 1 August , newsinfo.ru reported.

Polish Ambassador to Russia Stefan Meller has demanded a meeting with senior officials from the Russian Foreign Ministry, which has expressed regret over the latest incident, NTV reported. "We are studying the situation, and our reaction will follow as we gather information," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Officials on both sides have avoided suggesting the incidents are in any way connected.
