“The blowing up of the railway tracks on the Warsaw-Lublin line is an unprecedented act of sabotage directed directly against the security of the Polish state and its citizens. This route is also critical for the delivery of humanitarian aid to Ukraine. We will catch those responsible, whoever they are,” Tusk wrote.
In another statement, Tusk said that damage had also been found on another section of the same line:
“An explosive device detonated and destroyed the railway track. Emergency services and the prosecutor’s office are working at the scene. Damage has also been reported on the same line, closer to Lublin,” the statement said.
The incident occurred on Sunday on the outskirts of the town of Żychin in the Garwolin County of the Mazovia Province. The information was reported to law enforcement by train drivers who noticed the damage. The PKP PLK railway operator said that the section of the line is temporarily closed and repairs will begin after the investigative services have completed their work.
