Poland Calls Rail Explosion Sabotage on WarsawLublin Line

Investigators examine a blast on a corridor used to move weapons and relief to Ukraine.

Overview

  • An explosion destroyed track near the village of Mika on the WarsawLublin railway after a train driver spotted severe damage, halting traffic with no injuries reported.
  • Prime Minister Donald Tusk labeled the incident sabotage and said the blast likely aimed to blow up a WarsawDęblin passenger train during a visit to the site.
  • Officials reported a second damaged section further east, and the interior minister said the explosion was triggered via a cable found at the scene.
  • Authorities are probing two additional incidents on the same line, including a damaged overhead wire near Puławy and an object placed on a rail, while the track at Mika was repaired Monday.
  • Prosecutors and intelligence services have opened investigations with no public attribution so far, and the route’s strategic role in supplying Ukraine has heightened security concerns.
