Poland Says Evidence Points to Russian‑Directed Sabotage of Rail Link Supplying Ukraine

Officials cite local collaborators in the attack, with two Ukrainian suspects believed to have fled to Belarus.

Overview

  • An explosive device detonated on the WarsawLublin line near Mika destroyed a section of track, halting traffic without causing injuries.
  • A separate incident on the same corridor damaged about 60 meters of overhead power lines near Puławy and forced a passenger train with 475 people to stop.
  • Prosecutors opened a terrorism‑related sabotage probe as ABW, police and military units conduct forensic work and secure the route.
  • The defense ministry ordered inspections across roughly 120 kilometers of the WarsawLublinHrubieszów corridor and increased patrols on vulnerable rail segments.
  • Prime Minister Donald Tusk told parliament that two Ukrainian citizens suspected of working with Russian services left Poland via Belarus, while NATO and EU partners remain in close consultation.
