Poland has opened an investigation into damage found on a railway line south of Warsaw, and officials say the possibility of sabotage cannot be ruled out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The damage was discovered on Sunday after a train operator reported infrastructure problems near the village of \u017byczyn in Garwolin County, according<\/a> to the Polish National Police. No injuries were reported, and the train involved had only two passengers and several crew members on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prime Minister Donald Tusk said <\/a>he remains in contact with the interior minister and noted that sabotage \u201ccannot be ruled out.\u201d Tusk added that relevant government agencies are conducting a full investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Polish police said the issue was reported at 7:39 a.m., when the train\u2019s conductor alerted authorities to irregularities on the line in the vicinity of the PKP Mika station. Police officers and railway technicians were dispatched to the scene and confirmed that part of the track had been damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PKP PLK, the country\u2019s rail infrastructure operator, told TVN24<\/a> that a previous train had passed through the area and reported a bump or unevenness on the line. The next train was instructed to proceed slowly, and its operator confirmed the irregularity before notifying the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Spokeswoman Rus\u0142ana Krzemi\u0144ska said the warnings helped prevent a more serious incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maciej Duszczyk, Poland\u2019s deputy interior minister, said the country has faced \u201cvarious types of sabotage\u201d in recent months and that this case \u201cmay be one of them.\u201d Speaking to TVN24, he added that while some local residents reported hearing an explosion, police have not found evidence to support that claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOne should not blame Russia for every act of arson or every situation of this kind,\u201d Duszczyk said. \u201cHowever, it cannot be ruled out or ignored in any way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Images shared by rail dispatchers showed a small section of broken and displaced track beneath the halted train, with several concrete sleepers visibly fractured. Another photo showed a thin wire stretched across an undamaged section of track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Od godziny 7:30 trwa zamkni\u0119cie toru numer 1 na odcinku D\u0119blin-\u017byczyn po stwierdzeniu ubytku w torze o d\u0142ugo\u015bci oko\u0142o 100 cm przez m-st\u0119 poci\u0105gu 12713 KM Warszawa Zach-D\u0119blin.
