Poland Probes Sabotage Blast on Rail Route Supplying Ukraine

Authorities frame the strike within a pattern of hybrid threats they associate with Russia.

Overview

  • An explosion damaged tracks on the WarsawLublin line near the village of Mika, which carries aid to Ukraine, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk called it an unprecedented act of sabotage.
  • No injuries were reported, and a regional train driver first detected the damage after spotting a missing section of rail.
  • Polish security services and the public prosecutor are on site, and officials say the investigation remains active.
  • Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said army patrols now cover roughly 120 kilometers of the WarsawLublinHrubieszów corridor, and authorities found a second damaged stretch.
  • Officials link the incident to a broader hybrid campaign tied to Russia, though responsibility for this specific attack has not been proven.
