Poland Probes Rail Damage on WarsawLublin Line After PM Cites Possible Sabotage

The route is a vital link to Ukraine with no injuries reported.

Overview

  • A train driver reported damaged track in Mazowieckie on the WarsawLublin corridor, and police said the few passengers and workers on board were unharmed.
  • Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on X that an explosive device detonated near the village of Mika, destroying track, with additional damage detected closer to Lublin as special services and prosecutors examined the sites.
  • Deputy Interior Minister Maciej Duszczyk later stated the damage did not result from an explosion, offering no further details.
  • Ukrainian Railways said the KyivWarsaw service is running with a 25-minute delay as trains are routed over an adjacent track.
  • The incident is being weighed against July arrests of 32 suspects accused of plotting sabotage for Russian intelligence, allegations the Russian Foreign Ministry rejects.
