  "description": "On the weekend of November 16, 2025, a sabotage attack using explosives damaged railway tracks near the village of Mika, approximately 100 kilometers southeast of Warsaw, Poland. Poland's government accuses Russian intelligence services of orchestrating the attack targeting the Warsaw to Lublin rail line, critical for military logistics supporting Ukraine's defense against the ongoing Russian invasion. Two Ukrainian nationals suspected of acting on Moscow's orders are under investigation and reportedly fled to Belarus. In retaliation, Poland has closed the Russian Consulate General in Gdansk, the last Russian consulate in the country, citing state terrorism. Poland will also deploy 10,000 soldiers alongside other uniformed services under Operation 'Horizont' to guard vital infrastructure against further sabotage attempts. Russia denies involvement, calls accusations Russophobia, and announced reciprocal reductions of Polish diplomatic presence in Russia. Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced deeper intelligence and rail security cooperation with Ukraine to prevent sabotage.",
