Italy's railway network has been hit by a series of technical failures, causing widespread delays and disruptions.

The state-owned railway group, FS, has filed a detailed complaint with authorities, suspecting potential sabotage behind the incidents.

Recent malfunctions, including power line issues in Rome and Tuscany, have led to delays of up to six hours, affecting thousands of passengers.

Political tensions have escalated, with leaders trading accusations over the management of the rail system.

While the government insists the delays are consistent with past years, FS has intensified maintenance efforts and implemented contingency plans.

Investigations are ongoing to determine whether the disruptions are purely technical or deliberate acts of sabotage.
