An explosion that damaged a Polish railway track en route to Ukraine was an “unprecedented act of sabotage”, the country’s prime minister said yesterday. Donald Tusk said that an explosive device had destroyed a section of the track near Mika village, part of a route he said was “crucially important for delivering aid to Ukraine”.
