Poland’s Internal Security Agency is probing whether an outbreak of the Legionnaires disease in Rzeszow may have been an act of sabotage given the city’s role as a hub for NATO supplies to Ukraine.
The lung disease killed seven people in Rzeszow, while 113 are hospitalized, according to local authorities. The investigation aims to rule out any external act that could have led to the outbreak, Stanislaw Zaryn, a spokesman for Poland’s security services, said on X, confirming a report by radio RMF.
The city of about 200,000 is hosting US soldiers as well as Patriot air defense system and has been a transit hub for many official on their way to Kyiv, including US President Joe Biden, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron. Legionnaires is a type of pneumonia caused by Legionella bacteria, which on average causes death in 5%-10% of cases, according to the World Health Organization. People can become ill when they breathe in droplets of water or swallow water containing the bacteria.
