Italian police are investigating a potential sabotage incident following damage to power cables that supply rail lines near Bologna. This has resulted in significant train delays, impacting several key routes, an official confirmed.
Ferrovie dello Stato, Italy's state-owned railway, reported no technical faults, suggesting sabotage might be responsible. The disruption occurred amid the Winter Olympic Games, significantly affecting high-speed, Intercity, and regional services with delays of up to 90 minutes.
