Railway tracks on the Warsaw–Lublin route, used to transport aid to Ukraine, were damaged as a result of an explosion, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk reported.
"Blowing up the rail track on the Warsaw-Lublin route is an unprecedented act of sabotage targeting directly the security of the Polish state and its civilians. This route is also crucially important for delivering aid to Ukraine," Tusk stated.
According to the Polish Prime Minister, this route also holds crucial importance for delivering aid to Ukraine.
"We will catch the perpetrators, whoever they are," the head of the Polish government emphasized.
Sabotage in Poland
Earlier, a damaged section of railway track was discovered in Poland on a crucial route leading to the Polish-Ukrainian border and subsequently to Ukraine.
According to Polish media, the incident occurred in the morning of November 16. A train driver reported by phone about damage to the railway infrastructure in the area of Życzyn, Garwolin County, Masovian Voivodeship, near the PKP Mika station.
This concerns a section of a key railway line connecting Warsaw with the Dorohusk border crossing. Not only do Masovian Railways trains use this route, but also trains heading to Lublin, Chełm, and further to Ukraine.
In addition, on the night of August 20, an explosion occurred in the Polish village of Osiny in Lublin Voivodeship. It is known that an unidentified object fell onto a cornfield and then exploded.
The police found burnt metal and plastic fragments, and there was no typical crater from an explosion. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
