An explosion on a Polish railway track headed to Ukraine has been labelled an 'unprecedented act of sabotage' by Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Monday. Tusk stated that the incident presented a potential tragedy and vowed to capture those at fault.

The explosion comes amidst a surge of arson and cyberattacks affecting Poland and other European nations since the onset of the Ukraine war. Poland, a crucial hub for aid to Kyiv, has previously blamed Russia, although Moscow denies involvement in any sabotage activities.

In response to the blast on the Warsaw-Lublin line, which could have severe security implications, Polish authorities have initiated an investigation. The route in question is also utilized for transporting weapons to Ukraine, underscoring its strategic value.
