On September 15, deliberate acts of sabotage disrupted Dutch train services across over 20 locations mainly in rural areas, affecting the state opening of parliament that was scheduled for later that day. Pipes were found attached to railways, causing all trains near these disruptions and elsewhere to be halted or severely delayed, including international services to Germany. The Dutch rail infrastructure operator ProRail classified this as sabotage but did not identify the responsible party or motive, though they noted ongoing investigations by the AIVD alongside police and prosecutors.
