The attack earlier that day left five people dead and more than 10 wounded.
The ministry said it and Hungary’s consulate general in Krakow were monitoring developments and remained in contact with Polish authorities.
According to Polish police, the attacker drove to the city’s main square at around 3 p.m. and began firing indiscriminately at passersby with a long-barreled gun.
The man, who was wearing military-style clothing, was shot and wounded by police before being arrested and taken to a hospital. Police officers were among those wounded in the attack.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the shooting as tragic in a post on X. He said the interior minister was providing continuous briefings on the situation, while police were investigating the motive and circumstances of the attack.
