According to a statement by Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) on Facebook, a Russian military freight train en route to Crimea was detonated as part of a sabotage operation.
Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform reported that the train was carrying fuel tankers and cargo wagons. The blast derailed the train, damaging a critical logistical artery connecting Russian-occupied parts of Zaporizhzhia to the Crimean Peninsula.
In response, Russian forces launched a manhunt, deploying Rosgvardiya (National Guard) patrols in surrounding towns. Checkpoints were reinforced with tightened security inspections on all movement into and out of the area.
The incident marks a significant disruption in Russian military logistics in the south and highlights ongoing Ukrainian efforts to undermine supply lines ahead of potential counteroffensives.
