A major sabotage event disrupted train services in multiple areas of the Dutch railway network on a Tuesday morning, notably around Zwolle, Deventer, and Amersfoort. ProRail, the national rail infrastructure company, found materials, described as pipes, deliberately placed on the tracks at 13 locations, causing track-circuit failures and blocking train operations. One train collided with a pipe but without injuries or accidents. Level crossings were also affected, disrupting both train and road traffic. The motive or perpetrator is unknown, and it is unclear if the disruption is related to Prinsjesdag, a major political event in The Hague on the day of the incident when the Dutch government presents its annual budget.
