  • Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński said the blast was triggered by a cable, a fragment of which was found at the scene.
  • A separate disruption near Puławy damaged overhead lines and forced a passenger train carrying 475 people to stop; investigators are assessing whether it was connected.
  • Security services and prosecutors are gathering evidence as the Polish military checks roughly 120 kilometers of railway toward Ukraine for further threats.
  • EU and NATO officials voiced support and coordination, Ukraine offered assistance if requested, and Polish authorities cautioned against premature attribution while noting a wider pattern of hybrid activity in Europe.
