Train derails in Russia’s Bryansk region after ‘illegal interference’ caused a bridge to collapse, officials say.
A passenger train has derailed in Russia, killing at least seven people and injuring 30 others, after colliding with a bridge that collapsed because of what local officials described as “illegal interference”.
The incident took place late on Saturday in Russia’s Bryansk region, which borders Ukraine.
“Unfortunately, there are seven fatalities,” Bryansk Governor Alexander Bogomaz said in a post on Telegram.
“Thirty victims, including two children, were taken to medical facilities in the Bryansk Region,” Bogomaz said, adding that two were in serious condition.
The driver of the train was among those killed, according to Russian news agencies.
