A spokesman for Poland’s Special Services Minister accused Russian intelligence on Tuesday of orchestrating a railway explosion that destroyed a key track on a route used to deliver aid to Ukraine.
Jacek Dobrzyński told reporters that “everything indicates” that Russian intelligence was behind the sabotage of the Polish railways.
“The fact is that everything indicates that this – we can already call it with confidence a terrorist attack – was initiated by special services from the East,” Dobrzyński said.

Dobrzyński said the investigation into both incidents was still ongoing. ‘I cannot say at what stage the officers are [at] or [what they are] what they are currently working on and what wires they are connecting or what wires they are analyzing,” he explained.
“The Russian services would really like to have this information: where our officers are or in which direction they are going.”

Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the explosion on the Warsaw-Lublin line an “unprecedented act of sabotage.”
“The explosion of an explosive device has destroyed the railway line. Emergency services and the public prosecutor’s office are working on site. Damage has also been noted on the same route, closer to Lublin.” Tusk wrote on Monday on X, in which he promises to find the perpetrators.

The government’s National Security Committee met Tuesday in the presence of military commanders, intelligence chiefs and the president’s representative to discuss the incidents.
Poland’s accusation comes amid recent security incidents in Eastern Europe, following airspace raids in September in which Russian drones entered Poland and three MiG-31 fighter jets entered Estonia before being intercepted by NATO aircraft.
