Deputy Minister Maciej Duszczyk said on Polsat that a damaged railway track near the Dęblin‑Warsaw corridor in the Masovian Voivodeship may be sabotage, stressing the seriousness as investigations continue.
Deputy Minister Addresses Damaged Track
Maciej Duszczyk explained that Poland has long experienced various forms of sabotage and suggested the current incident may belong to that category. He added that the situation cannot be ruled out as sabotage and called for detailed clarification.
He noted that police, ABW, and prosecutors are actively investigating while signalling that a definitive statement could appear within the coming days.
Track Did Not Collapse on Its Own
Duszczyk emphasized that the track cannot have damaged itself, implying intentional interference. He urged the public not to automatically attribute the incident to Russian diversion, but he also said Russia cannot be ruled out by the mere fact that incidents occur.
Possible Sabotage Not Excluded
The deputy minister said it remains essential to determine what tool was used to damage the tracks and the mechanism behind the event. He reinforced that damage exists, yet the track remains intact on its own.
Prime Minister Calls for Continued Investigation
Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced on X that he is in constant contact with the head of the Ministry of Interior and Administration, acknowledging the possibility of sabotage while confirming no injuries.
The damage was reported on Sunday, 16 November, when the train cab signaled irregularities over the Życzyn area. Two passengers and several staff members occupied the train; none were harmed.
Operations are continuing on a single track, and authorities are conducting on‑site procedures.
