UPDATE: It turned out that the train was Belarusian. The locomotive belongs to the Gomel depot, and it was operated by a Belarusian team of a machinist and his assistant, who managed to avoid death by a lucky chance.
On the morning of May 1, a sabotage attack targeted the Russian border Bryansk region. An explosion thundered on the railway tracks. As a result of the attack, a cargo train was damaged and derailed.
The incident occurred at 10.17 am Moscow time in the Unech district on 136 km of the Bryansk-Unech railway tracks. A locomotive and seven train carriages with cargo derailed after an unidentified explosive device went off.
According to preliminary reports, there are no casualties as a result of the incident. Security services are deployed on the spot.
The train was reportedly carrying fuel and construction materials. Judging by the footage from the spot several carriages were heavily damaged but the fire did not affect the fuel tanks and there were no large explosions.
The investigation has yet to identify the perpetrators. Most likely, they were saboteurs acting on the orders of the Kiev regime.
On April 29, Ukrainian drones struck the Crimean peninsula. One of them got into a fuel tank in the city of Sevastopol. LINK The Kiev regime is trying to deplete Russian fuel reserves in order to prevent the Russian military from conducting military operations amid the upcoming Ukrainian offensive on the front line. However, so far their attacks in the Russian rear have not yet had a significant impact on the Russian military at the front.
Another senseless sabotage attack took place on the morning of May 1 in the Russian Leningrad region. A transmission tower was blown up near the village of Susansky in the Gatchina district. Another explosive device was discovered on another tower and timely defused by Russian specialists.
The power supply to the settlements was not disrupted. It was automatically switched to another substation. FSB officers and the Prosecutor’s Office are working at the scene.
It has not yet been confirmed whether Kiev is behind this attack. However, this would not be a surprise. The sabotage attack had no military goals but was aimed to terrorise the local population. Kiev is recruiting saboteurs to commit crimes on the Russian territory, risking their freedom, in an attempt to cause at least some damage and distract Russian security services. At the same time, the Ukrainian media and the MSM declare such saboteurs coordinated and paid by Kiev – the Russian guerrillas who are allegedly fighting against Putin for the “better Russia”.
