November 17 in Poland was dominated by confirmed acts of sabotage on railway tracks, with reports of hundreds of Russian drones flying towards Poland (Onet, Super Express) early in the morning. Prime Minister Tusk confirmed an act of sabotage on the Warsaw-Lublin line by 8:00 AM, with later statements indicating the explosion was likely intended to derail a train (Do Rzeczy, Interia). By early afternoon, ministers confirmed an explosive device detonation, and the Prosecutor's Office initiated an investigation into the 'terrorist' nature of the acts by evening (Radio ZET). Concurrently, the national football team's unexpected and difficult win against Malta also garnered significant media attention, with some outlets describing it as a 'horror' or 'humiliating' victory after a controversial VAR decision (Interia, Radio ZET, Super Express).
