Train traffic restored on damaged railway section in Poland after sabotage

Train traffic was restored on the night of 17-18 November on the railway track in Poland that had been damaged as a result of sabotage.

As reported by Polish news portal RMF24, traffic on both tracks was restored on the Sobolew-Życzyn section in Mazovia on the night of 17-18 November. The track damaged as a result of the sabotage has been repaired.

"After the repair of the track damaged as a result of the sabotage, double-track traffic on the Sobolew-Życzyn section was restored at 00:21," Dariusz Klimczak, Head of Poland's Infrastructure Department, stated.

On the evening of 17 November, after a series of incidents on the railway in Poland, the prosecutor's office launched an investigation into acts of sabotage of a terrorist nature committed in the interests of a foreign intelligence service.

The investigation concerns the damage, between 15 and 17 November, to the infrastructure of railway line No. 7 on the Warsaw East-Dorohusk route, including damage caused by explosive materials to tracks near the village of Mika and damage to tracks near the village of Gołąb.

Proceedings were initiated on the grounds of a crime punishable by life imprisonment.

The Warsaw-Lublin railway section, which was affected by the sabotage actions, is of strategic importance for assistance to Ukraine.

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has suggested that Russia may have been involved in the sabotage incidents on the Polish railway and has offered Warsaw assistance with the investigation.
