Train hit. Tusk predicts intensification of Russian attacks in escalation that could "affect Poland"

RTP Notícias13 September 2026 at 17:40

A train was hit in an attack on the railway network that occurred just two kilometers from the border with Poland. The incident is part of an escalation of attacks that have been intensifying in the region.

Donald Tusk, the Polish prime minister, predicts an intensification of Russian attacks. His statements come precisely after this attack on railway infrastructure near the Polish border.

The Polish leader warned that this escalation could directly affect Poland, a NATO member country. The proximity of the attack to the border raises concerns about the security of allied countries in the eastern region of the Atlantic Alliance.

Why this matters

Readers in the region face an increased risk of direct spillover effects from the conflict in Ukraine, with the possibility of attacks on targets near the NATO border. The intensification predicted by Tusk suggests an escalation that could have implications for the security of neighboring countries, including Poland. The recent railway attack demonstrates that the border area is already under pressure.

Illegal immigrants use Portugal as secondary route to "make the leap" to Ireland

In statements to the Portuguese news agency, he explained that irregular immigrants arrive in major Portuguese cities by train and bus, with some intending to only move on to other countries.

Gulf countries' meeting on Monday will not lead to reopening of the Strait of Hormuz

The Gulf countries, Iran and Iraq meet on Monday in Oman to discuss the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's main oil and gas shipping routes. Tehran said the meeting demonstrates "good intention" and that a provisional mechanism will be presented to manage ship transit through Iranian and Omani waters, with a joint maritime corridor and a plan to remove mines. However, Iran confirmed that the agreement with Oman does not mean the reopening of the strait, as it depends on the United States resuming its commitments. Bahrain has already announced it will not participate in the meeting, considering that regional security "cannot be preserved through a policy of appeasement".

The "Serrenhos" and their Origins

This article explores the historical origins of the inhabitants of the Serra Algarvia, known as "Serrenhos", tracing them back to the Muslim invasion of the Iberian Peninsula in the 8th century. The author explains that the Berbers, coming from North Africa, were relegated to the poorest and most mountainous lands of the Algarve, while the Arabs occupied the urban centers and the best agricultural lands. Over the centuries, the Serrenhos remained isolated in their villages, preserving physical and linguistic characteristics that still today reflect their Berber origins, including dialectal expressions with clear roots in the Arabic language. The author also shares personal memories from the 1940s and examples of local expressions in decline.

Irregular immigrants increase at train and bus arrivals

The Public Security Police warned of an increase in the number of irregular immigrants arriving in Portugal by train and bus, with a focus on the Lisbon and Porto metropolitan areas. These citizens travel from other European Union member states, taking advantage of the Schengen area to change territory after unsuccessful attempts to regularize their status in other European countries. According to the director of UNEF, Portugal functions as a transit platform, not as a final destination, with many intending to move on to Scandinavia, Poland, the Netherlands, or Germany. The PSP guarantees that the mobile control device at stations and bus terminals will be maintained to monitor these secondary immigration flows.
