Russian military freight train blown up en route to Crimea, Ukraine's HUR claims
A Russian military train carrying fuel and food was blown up overnight on June 1 near Melitopol, according to Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR). "The Muscovites' key logistical artery on the occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia Oblast and Crimea has been destroyed," HUR's statement said. The agency stopped short of claiming responsibility for blowing up the Russian train station in southern Zaporizhzhia Oblast, but said "the fight against the military logistics of the Russian occupiers continues." HUR's statement further noted heightened Russian searches and stricter checkpoints in the region as Russian forces seek to find those responsible. It was a bad night for Russian railways. A train derailed in Bryansk Oblast, which borders Ukraine to the North, after a road bridge collapsed, killing at least seven people and injuring 69 others. Preliminary reports suggest that explosions were heard in the Vygonichsky district of Bryansk Oblast ahead of the impact, and Moscow Railways, a subsidiary of state-run Russian Railways, claimed that the bridge collapsed due to the "unlawful interference in transport operations." No further information was provided as to the cause of the bridge collapse, and the full extent of the damage was not immediately clear. And the Ukrainian partisan group Atesh claimed to have sabotaged a railway in occupied Donetsk Oblast.
