[Brjansk Train Accident Leaves Over 30 People Injured or Dead: Sabotage Explosion?]
On the morning of June 1st, Alexander Bogomaz, the governor of Brjansk Oblast, confirmed that the death toll from the bridge collapse incident that crushed a passenger train had risen to seven. Thirty injured people have been sent to hospitals, including two children, with two others in critical condition. Sixteen emergency response teams and buses for evacuating passengers to temporary shelters have been deployed at the accident site, and rescue operations are ongoing.
Previous reports indicated that the victims included the train driver, assistant driver, and two passengers, with an infant aged five to six months being critically injured. The train derailed due to part of the bridge collapsing. Footage from multiple channels showed the scene, with passengers helping each other escape from the carriages.
According to Shot channel reports, preliminary speculation suggests the accident was caused by an explosion, with four explosive devices found at the bridge piers and supports (though this claim has not yet been officially confirmed). The press office of the Moscow Railway Bureau stated that the bridge collapse was "caused by illegal interference with transportation activities."
