Overview
- Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the explosion near Mika an intentional act that destroyed track and likely sought to derail a train, with a driver’s alert preventing casualties.
- The Defence Ministry ordered army inspections along the remaining 120 kilometers to the border, as rail crews began repairs and the immobilized train later departed.
- Officials reported additional damage on the same route, including a second degraded section further south, a damaged catenary near Pulawy, and a metal collar placed on a rail.
- Interior Minister Maciej Kierwinski said the blast was triggered via a cable fragment found on site, and Tusk vowed to catch the perpetrators regardless of who directed them.
- NATO said it is in close contact with Poland, the EU urged stronger protection of infrastructure, Ukraine voiced solidarity and offered help, and Tusk convened a national security meeting for Tuesday.
