ItalyRail services in Calabria, Italy, were disrupted on July 9 after deliberate damage was discovered on several sections of the railway network. The Tirrenica line between San Lucido and Longobardo, and the Ionian line between Cutro and Isola di Capo Rizzuto, experienced cut cables, leading to service suspensions. Key routes such as Salerno–Paola, Catanzaro Lido–Taranto, and others were affected, causing delays, cancellations, and limited train operations. Replacement buses were deployed to mitigate the impact. Investigations are ongoing into the incidents, which include suspected theft of fiber optic cables near San Lucido, contributing to communication failures and subsequent rail disruptions. Services are gradually resuming.
