Poland Raises Rail Terror Threat to ‘Charlie’ After Border Route Explosion

Prosecutors are treating the Dorohusk track damage as a terrorist attack.

Overview

  • Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the third-tier Charlie level will apply to selected railway corridors, with the rest of the country remaining at Bravo.
  • Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz announced that army and territorial defence units will patrol eastern rail infrastructure and support Railway Security using drones and a helicopter.
  • Investigators have identified two Ukrainian nationals as suspects, and Tusk relayed an unsubstantiated claim of their cooperation with Russia, with no evidence released and the probe ongoing.
  • The measures follow a Nov. 16 explosion that damaged tracks leading to the Dorohusk crossing on the Ukraine border, halting traffic and causing no injuries.
  • Poland’s four-tier anti-terror framework runs from Alfa to Delta, with Charlie triggering heightened checks and protection of critical transport infrastructure.
