flag Sabotage strikes Italy’s rail lines ahead of 2026 Winter Olympics, disrupting key routes near Bologna and Pesaro.

flag Suspected sabotage disrupted Italy’s rail network on the first full day of the 2026 Winter Olympics, with three separate incidents near Bologna and Pesaro causing major delays for high-speed, intercity, and regional trains. flag Authorities reported a fire at a track switch cabin, severed electrical cables, and a crude explosive device, all appearing coordinated. flag The state-owned railway company temporarily closed Bologna’s high-speed station, a key transit hub, but services resumed by Saturday afternoon. flag The Italian Ministry of Infrastructure labeled the acts “serious sabotage,” drawing comparisons to attacks on France’s TGV network before the 2024 Paris Olympics. flag No group has claimed responsibility, and officials stressed the incidents would not harm Italy’s global image as the Games proceed in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo.
