Wave of Sabotage Hits Russian Trains Near Ukraine Border
A freight train derailed in Russia's Bryansk region after an explosion, marking the latest in a string of sabotage attacks in the country. The incident follows another freight train derailment in the same region a day earlier. Russian railways said both incidents were the result of "illegal interference in the work of railway transport." Local prosecutors have launched an investigation into the derailments. Sabotage attacks have grown in intensity since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
