Passenger and freight train crash in western Russia, several dead
Briefly

Two railway bridge collapses near the Ukraine border led to a tragic incident involving a passenger train and a freight train. The first bridge fell onto a passenger train traveling from Klimov to Moscow, resulting in casualties. Shortly after, a second bridge collapsed in the Kursk region, derailing a freight train and causing a fire without casualties. Russian authorities attribute the explosions causing these collapses to possible sabotage. While Ukraine's military intelligence did not confirm responsibility, they noted the destruction of key transport routes to Crimea, highlighting ongoing tensions in the region.
In the first incident, a bridge collapsed onto a passenger train, causing casualties, and shortly after, another bridge in Kursk derailed a freight train due to an explosion.
Russia's Investigative Committee confirmed that explosions caused the bridges' collapse but provided no further details, while some officials speculate about pro-Ukrainian sabotage.
