Checks after railway sabotage: Poland deploys over 10,000 soldiers to monitor infrastructure

Poland has announced Operation Horizon to strengthen the security of critical infrastructure after a railway explosion near Warsaw. 10,000 soldiers and security forces are taking part to control the most vulnerable areas.

This is reported by RMF24 .

The operation involves territorial defense forces, special forces, and cybersecurity units. The task is to control major railway lines and transport interchanges to prevent sabotage and other incidents.

The participants in the operation use reconnaissance drones and helicopters, which allows them to monitor hard-to-reach and critically important areas of infrastructure.

“The actions are targeted in nature – the military will be primarily located where the risk of attack is highest,” RMF24 noted.

Operation Horizon is a response to recent transportation incidents and is aimed at ensuring the safety of passenger and freight transportation across the country.

As a reminder, an explosive device detonated on the Warsaw-Lublin railway line in Poland , destroying part of the track, which is crucial for transporting aid to Ukraine.

As it became known, the sabotage on the Warsaw-Lublin railway line in Poland was carried out by two Ukrainian citizens who collaborated with the Russians. Earlier, Polish law enforcement officers identified four more people involved in the railway bombing and detained the first suspects.

By the way, the spokesman for the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maciej Wewir, stated that Warsaw is demanding the extradition of individuals suspected of involvement in the railway bombing.
