Committee spokesperson Svetlana Petrenko told Sputnik that the first incident occurred at 10:50 PM on May 31, 2025, on the Vygonichi–Belshino railway section in Bryansk. A road bridge structure collapsed due to an explosion, and its debris fell onto a passing passenger train, leading to fatalities and injuries.
In the second incident, at around 3:00 AM on June 1, a railway bridge in the Zheleznogorsk area of Kursk was blown up. The explosion caused a train to derail and fall onto a nearby highway, injuring the engineer and two of his assistants.
Petrenko stated that investigators are currently on-site conducting urgent actions to establish the full circumstances of the attacks.
Earlier in the day, Russian authorities confirmed that seven people were killed and dozens injured as a result of the twin bridge collapses in regions bordering Ukraine.
According to Interfax, Bryansk Governor Alexander Bogomaz said the Bryansk bridge was deliberately bombed while a Klimovo–Moscow passenger train with 388 passengers was passing beneath it.
The incidents mark a significant escalation in sabotage activities inside Russian territory amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
