Poland is taking a stand. After a suspected act of sabotage on a key railway line near Warsaw — believed to be carried out by Russian intelligence — the Polish government has announced the closure of Russia’s last consulate in Gdańsk. Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski called the incident an act of state terror, marking a serious escalation in diplomatic tensions between the two countries. With suspects already fleeing to Belarus and more evidence of covert operations across Europe, this is just the latest chapter in a growing shadow war. Here's what you need to know.

00:00Poland just made its boldest move yet against Russia.
00:03And it all started with a blast on a railway line.
00:06Polish authorities say it was sabotage, and they believe Russian intelligence was behind it.
00:11The explosion hit tracks near Mika, southeast of Warsaw.
00:14It didn't hurt anyone, but it sent a chilling message.
00:18Now Poland's foreign minister, Radosław Sikorski, has had enough.
00:22He's shutting down the last Russian consulate in the country.
00:25Dynsk is out.
00:26And Moscow will only be left with its embassy in Warsaw.
00:30Sikorski called it an act of state terror.
00:32He warned Russia time and again, stop the hostile actions.
00:36But this attack crossed a dangerous line, and it wasn't the only one.
00:40That same weekend, power lines were destroyed in Puowoy.
00:44Two suspects linked to Russian secret services have already fled to Belarus.
00:48And Prime Minister Donald Tusk says they'd been working with Moscow for a long time.
00:53Western officials say this is part of a bigger strategy.
00:55A campaign of fear meant to divide Europe and weaken support for Ukraine.
01:00But Poland's message now is crystal clear.
