Poland will demand a strengthening of NATO's eastern flank and increased military spending by NATO members, said President Bronislaw Komorowski in a speech on Polish Armed Forces Day. He and other officials watched a military parade in Warsaw Friday.

Head of Poland's National Security Office (BBN) Stanislaw Koziej said on Friday he hoped that NATO would decide to strengthen its eastern flank at the NATO summit in September. Poland invites allied forces to construct bases and airfields here, he added.

Sirens sounded throughout Warsaw at exactly 5:00 p.m. on Friday, the exact time of the August 1, 1944 outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising against the city's Nazi occupants to mark the insurgency's 70th anniversary.
