A tragic incident occurred in Russia's Bryansk region near Ukraine when a passenger train derailed after a bridge collapsed due to an explosion, leading to seven deaths and over 60 injuries. Local authorities reported that the incident involved a train heading to Moscow with 388 passengers aboard. The explosions that caused the collapses prompted the Russian Investigative Committee to classify them as acts of terrorism. Just hours later, a second bridge collapsed in the Kursk region, further heightening fears of escalating tensions in the area.
"There was an explosion on the bridge on the route while the Klimovo-Moscow train was travelling, with 388 passengers on board," he said on state television.
"The incidents have been classified as acts of terrorism," Svetlana Petrenko, a spokeswoman from Russia's Investigative Committee.
"There are seven dead as a result of the collapse of a bridge onto railway tracks," he wrote.
"A road bridge collapsed as a result of a blast in the Bryansk region at 10:50 pm (1950) on Saturday."
