  • Prosecutors opened a terrorism-sabotage case after an explosive device damaged track near Mika, with a train driver’s alert preventing a derailment and no injuries reported.
  • Interior officials reported a detonating cable fragment at the site and cited two additional tampering incidents on the same route, including damaged catenary and a steel collar placed on a rail.
  • Authorities ordered inspections and reinforced security along the remaining 120 kilometers of the WarsawLublin corridor, a route that carries about 115 trains daily.
  • NATO, EU and Ukrainian officials voiced support for Poland as the Kremlin rejected the accusations and labeled Warsaw’s claims as russophobia.
