What Happened In Bryansk? Russian Volunteer Corps Explained
A freight train derailed on Tuesday after an explosion in Russia’s Bryansk region, located near the Ukraine border, marking the latest incident in a string of sabotage attacks in the country in recent days.
“An unidentified explosive device went off near the Snezhetskaya railway station. There were no casualties,” Alexander Bogomaz, governor of the Bryansk region, wrote on Telegram. “As a result of the incident, a locomotive and several wagons of a freight train derailed.”
A day earlier, another Russian freight train derailed in Bryansk after striking an explosive device. The incident was the latest apparent sabotage attack to occur in Russia. Such attacks have grown in intensity since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Russian railways said in a statement that Tuesday’s derailment, like Monday’s incident, was the result of “illegal interference in the work of railway transport.”
