General Władysław Kosiniak‑Kamysz said on 17 November that units under the Ministry of National Defence, including the 2nd Lublin Territorial Defense Brigade and the 25th Light Infantry Battalion from Zamość, are working closely to investigate a sabotage act on the tracks near Garwolin. The army will examine a 120‑kilometre stretch of railway under traction power.
