Passenger Train Derails Bryansk Russia Killing Seven

A passenger train derailed in Russia's Bryansk region near the Ukrainian border after a road bridge collapsed onto the tracks due to what officials described as "illegal interference." The accident resulted in at least seven deaths, including the train's driver, and around 30 to 35 injuries, including children, with several critically wounded. Emergency responders conducted search-and-rescue operations and established temporary shelters for displaced passengers. The incident heightened concerns due to its proximity to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with Russian authorities implying sabotage, though no official blame has been assigned. The collapse disrupted both the railway and a truck traveling on the bridge at the time. Local officials emphasized their commitment to providing assistance to victims as investigations continue into the cause of the bridge's failure.
