Poland Confirms Sabotage Blast on WarsawLublin Rail Line

Authorities say an explosive device caused the blast, prompting an inquiry into additional damage on a corridor used to move passengers as well as aid to Ukraine.

Overview

  • Prime minister Donald Tusk said an explosive device destroyed track near the village of Mika and confirmed the incident as sabotage.
  • Interior minister Marcin Kierwiński said there is no doubt it was sabotage and reported that another damaged section on the same route is under investigation.
  • The disruption was first detected Sunday morning when a regional train driver spotted a missing section of rail.
  • Emergency services and the prosecutor's office are working at the scene, and Tusk visited the site in Garwolin County.
  • The attack heightens security concerns in Poland given recent hybrid-threat activity, including a September drone incursion that drew a NATO response.
