An explosive device damaged railway tracks on the Warsaw-Lublin line near the village of Mika in what Prime Minister Donald Tusk described as an unprecedented act of sabotage. Emergency services and prosecutors are investigating and further damage was reported closer to Lublin.
Earlier, a train driver reported irregularities on the Dęblin-Warsaw route near Życzyn, about 100 km from Warsaw with initial inspections confirming part of the track had been damaged. Tusk vowed that the perpetrators would be caught, regardless of who commissioned the attack.
The National Security Bureau described the incident as deliberate damage bearing the hallmarks of sabotage on line No. 7, which runs from Warsaw to the Polish-Ukrainian border crossing at Dorohusk.
