BREAKING NEWS A major coordinated sabotage attack was just carried out against railway infrastructure in at more than 20 locations in the Netherlands. Large 2 meter-long metal pipes were deliberately attached to the tracks, triggering track-circuit and safety system failures by tricking the grid's computers into registering that the tracks were blocked. #AureFreePress #News #UkraineWar #Breaking #BreakingNews

@Free_Press@mstdn.social last friday, there was a train accident in france between Rouen and Caen seemingly due to a part of rail in the middle of the railway.

@Free_Press@mstdn.social I'd encourage some restraint in reporting on this incident. As others have noted, this is much more likely to have been carried out by domestic extremists than Russian operatives, and is unlikely to have any direct nexus with the Russia-Ukraine War. The possible caveat to that is the tendency of Russia to encourage various extremist groups in rival democracies through clandestine resources and propaganda, but thus far there's no evidence that I'm aware of any direct involvement by any Russian actors at this point.

@Free_Press@mstdn.social State sponsored terrorism. Surely paid for by Putin? If not Putin, then Trump. Certainly local operatives

@Free_Press@mstdn.social Consult with Ukraine to see if they have experienced this type of activity and how they dealt with it. Their rail system has been the lifeline connecting their country even in time of war.

@Free_Press@mstdn.social At least they're using track circuits not axle-counters (which wouldn't have 'seen' the pipes).
