"That wasn't like prior acts of sabotage it was state terrorism because its clear aim was human casualties,"
"A foreign nation sent well-prepared saboteurs who failed in their mission only through some miracle,"
"do the dirty work."
"probably the worst attack on state security since the outbreak of war in Ukraine,"
"a line has been crossed."
Two deliberate acts of sabotage inflicted heavy damage on Poland's rail network, including a stretch between Warsaw and Lublin and the line to the Ukraine border. Poland labeled the sabotage state terrorism with the clear aim of causing human casualties and reported arrests of several suspected participants awaiting questioning. Authorities accused Russia's GRU of recruiting mercenaries and described the saboteurs as well-prepared but unsuccessful. All rail lines are operating at the country's second-highest security level, requiring 24-hour protection of critical infrastructure and armed guards; heightened measures are expected to continue until February 2026. Russia closed its consulate in Gdansk, escalating diplomatic tensions.
