Russian intelligence likely behind railway sabotage, Poland says

On November 18, 2025, Poland said Russian intelligence likely commissioned railway sabotage, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk said two Ukrainian suspects fled to Belarus after collaborating with Russian intelligence.
The rail route in question connects Warsaw to the Ukrainian border and carries Western aid to Kyiv, while European intelligence agencies link this blast to at least 70 sabotage acts attributed to Russia this year.
Security services say a military-grade C4 explosive detonated near Mika damaged tracks, where camera equipment and a second device were found, stopping trains including one with 475 people but causing no injuries.
The government convened the National Security Committee on Tuesday, with Polish prosecutors launching a terrorism probe and army patrols deployed while considering military protection for infrastructure.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejected the accusation, accusing Poland of succumbing to `Russophobia`, while NATO said it is closely coordinating with Polish and EU officials and Valdis Dombrovskis noted the incident fits Russia's modus operandi amid a hybrid war.
