- No injuries were reported after a train driver spotted irregularities; Tusk said the blast was likely intended to derail a train.
- Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński said another damaged section on the same route is under investigation, and a separate overhead line failure forced a passenger train with 475 people to stop near Puławy.
