Poland has blamed Russian-backed Ukrainian groups for an attempted railway sabotage on its main supply line to Ukraine. The attack, which involved two devices intended to derail passing trains, failed to cause any damage, prompting a security alert. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki confirmed the incident, stating that the suspects fled the country and are now being hunted by Polish authorities.
Inspection teams were dispatched to the blast site in Mika, near the border with Ukraine, to investigate the incident. Officials confirmed that the devices, which were believed to have been placed on the tracks, did not succeed in derailing any trains. While no casualties were reported, the attack has raised concerns about the security of critical infrastructure in the region.
The Polish government has not yet issued a formal statement linking the incident to any specific group or country, but the prime minister’s remarks suggest that Russian-backed Ukrainian forces are under scrutiny. Security agencies are conducting a thorough investigation to determine the origins of the sabotage attempt and to prevent any future incidents. The incident has also led to increased security measures along the rail lines, with authorities warning that such attacks could have severe consequences for both military and civilian operations.
International reactions to the incident have been cautious, with some countries expressing concern over the escalating tensions in the region. However, no formal diplomatic response has been announced yet. As the investigation continues, Polish officials remain focused on strengthening security and deterring any further attacks that could threaten the stability of the area.
