Deadly train derailment claims seven lives in western Russian Bryansk - West Russia: Train accident in Bryansk claims seven lives
Hey there! Looking for the saucy lowdown on the latest news? Alrighty then, let's dive in!
A train ride turned nightmare in Russia's Bryansk region when a passenger train veered off the tracks after a bridge collapse. The regional governor, Alexander Bogomaz, reported the tragic end for seven souls in a Telegram post, with around 70 more people sustaining injuries, including three little ones. Uh-oh!
State-run media outlet TASS chatted with ol' Bogomaz, who confirmed an explosion had rocked the bridge bright and early that morn. "Bam! Blast on the Klimovo-Moscow line wrecked the bridge while the train with 388 passengers was passing through," he said, geez! The incident transpired a smidge over 80 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
In the neighboring Kursk region, not too far from Ukraine and a hotspot for Ukrainian troops, another freight train had its own run-in with disaster. As night fell, the train was engulfed in chaos when a bridge cave-in sent it plummeting onto a nearby highway, with one locomotive even catching flames. The driver ended up in a pickle, but the cause of the debacle still remains a mystery.
Ukraine's been under fire, defending itself from a Russian military invasion over the past three years. Ukraine's intel operatives are known to orchestrate sabotage missions and attacks on Russian soil. Yikes!
