Explosion damages railway bridge in Russia: “It was sabotage”

An explosive device damaged a railway bridge on Sunday in Russia’s Kursk region, which borders Ukraine, and a criminal investigation has been launched. The regional government announced the blast in a Telegram post.

In recent weeks, there have been a number of fires and explosions in Russian regions near the border, including Kursk. An ammunition depot in the Belgorod region burned down after explosions were heard, and authorities in the Voronezh region said an air defense system had shot down a drone. An oil depot in Bryansk was engulfed in fire a week ago.
