Train sabotage in Russia was Ukrainian terrorist attack Moscow

Kiev deliberately targeted railroad infrastructure in border regions to harm civilians, officials have said

The recent acts of railway sabotage in Russia's Bryansk and Kursk regions were "terrorist attacks" planned by Ukraine to cause maximum civilian casualties, the Russian Investigative Committee has said.

The two incidents took place on Saturday evening and Sunday morning, respectively. In the first case, a bridge fell in front of a moving passenger train in Bryansk Region, causing more than 70 casualties. The second incident took place in Kursk Region when a railway bridge collapsed under a moving freight train. While there were no deaths, the train driver and two of his assistants were injured.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Investigative Committee said that Moscow is treating both sabotage acts as "terrorist attacks."

"It is clear that the terrorists, acting under the direction of the Kiev regime, planned the attacks with maximum precision to ensure that hundreds of civilians would be affected," a spokeswoman said. The committee added that investigators had recovered explosive device fragments and other physical evidence from the scene and had questioned witnesses, injured passengers, and rail railroad employees.
