New sabotage derails Russian locomotive near Ukraine
A diesel locomotive derailed in Russia's Belgorod Region on Friday morning after an explosive device planted under the tracks damaged the rails, according to Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov. The incident follows what Moscow described as two Ukrainian 'terrorist attacks' on railroad infrastructure last week in the border regions of Bryansk and Kursk, which killed seven people and injured more than 100, including children. 'According to preliminary information, there were no casualties as a result of the explosive device planted under the rails. Train traffic was delayed for 2.5 hours. But now all trains are already running according to schedule,' Gladkov wrote in a post on his Telegram channel at around 6:50am. Repair crews were quickly dispatched to restore the affected section in the Prokhorovsky District of the region, the governor said, noting that he had been personally affected by the delays. 'My train only reached Prokhorovka due to the bombing of the railway tracks,' he said in a video message. 'Thank God that no one was injured, but there is damage.' On Wednesday, a similar case of railway sabotage occurred in Voronezh Region near the Ukrainian border, halting rail traffic and delaying more than 20 trains. Moscow has blamed Kiev for the recent string of incidents, following a ramp-up in Ukrainian drone raids and other attacks on Russian territory. President Vladimir Putin called the deadly train sabotage in the two border regions 'undoubtedly a terrorist act,' aimed at disrupting direct US-backed peace talks between the two countries.

Bridge collapses onto passenger train in western Russia, killing at least 7
At least seven people were killed when a road bridge collapsed onto a passenger train in western Russia late Saturday, with railway authorities blaming 'illegal interference.' The bridge came down in Russia's Bryansk region, close to the Ukrainian border, crushing the moving train and injuring at least 30 people, Russian authorities reported. The train was traveling from the town of Klimov to the capital Moscow when it was hit by the debris from the bridge and derailed, according to Russian state media outlet RIA Novosti. Images from the Moscow interregional transport prosecutor's office show fallen earth, debris and concrete on top of what appears to be the passenger train, and derailed carriages as emergency services attend the scene. Moscow Railway cited the cause of the collapse as 'illegal interference in transport operations,' without providing further details. An investigation has been launched, and a team is inspecting the site, state news agency TASS reported. The train's engineer was among those killed in the incident, RIA Novosti reported. An infant remains in serious condition, according to the Russian emergencies ministry. Passengers were evacuated from the wreckage and were taken to a temporary accommodation center at a nearby station, according to TASS. Bryansk's regional governor Alexander Bogomaz said on Telegram that emergency services and government officials were working at the scene. 'Everything necessary is being done to provide assistance to the victims,' he said, according to TASS.
