A passenger train derailed in Russia's Bryansk region, causing the deaths of at least seven individuals and injuring 33 others. Local authorities labeled the incident as likely resulting from 'illegal interference.' The train was on a route from Moscow to Klimov when it reportedly collided with a collapsed bridge. Preliminary reports suggest potential sabotage, but official confirmation is lacking, and accusations towards Ukraine remain unproven. The train had 379 passengers, and emergency services have been deployed to the site as investigations continue amid rising tensions around regional security and prior incidents of railway sabotage.
The train, which was traveling from Moscow to Klimov - some 600 kilometers to the west - derailed in the Bryansk region, according to Russian Railways officials.
Bryansk Governor Aleksandr Bogomaz said that, along with the fatalities, at least 33 passengers were injured in the incident.
Russian Railways officials said the derailment occurred 'as a result of illegal interference in the activities of transport,' without providing further details.
The Baza Telegram channel, which is generally close to Russian authorities and security services, said the train crashed into the collapsed bridge.
