Moscow: Two trains in separate parts of Russia's western Leningrad region derailed early Sunday, leaving a train driver dead and disrupting railway traffic, the region's governor said.
The incidents came hours after an explosive device detonated on a section of rail track in Russia's western Oryol region late Saturday, killing three people.
"Recovery efforts are under way following the derailment of a single diesel locomotive near Semrino station in Leningrad's Gatchina district," governor Alexander Drozdenko said on Telegram.
"The train driver was killed. He was trapped in the cabin, and died in an ambulance after being unblocked," he added.
An unverified video posted on social media appeared to show a train car lying on its side several metres from the track.
