In Poland, two bullets tied with wire were found on railway tracks near the town of Ostrów Wielkopolski. Polish police called it a provocation deliberately carried out to test the reaction of the security services.
“We will find this person and bring him to criminal responsibility,” police said in a statement.
Police said the bullets were blanks and were placed on rails that were being repaired.
On 15 and 17 November, there were two incidents on the railway in Poland. First, a fault was reported in the railway infrastructure near the village of Zychin in Mazowieckie Voivodeship, on the Lublin direction. The explosion damaged the tracks and another explosive device was found nearby, which did not detonate, Polish media reported.
A second explosion occurred near Pulaw in Lublin province, damaging the railway’s contact network.
On 18 November, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that the sabotage on the Polish railway was committed by Ukrainian citizens, who acted on the instructions of Russian special services and then left for Belarus. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told the mass media that Warsaw would demand that Minsk extradite the suspects in the case.
