Railway Accidents In Russia

Such incidents are common in Russia these days. For example, in mid-May, the Russian Federation allegedly reported an explosion on a railway in temporarily annexed Crimea. Propagandists then also called the incident near Bakhchisaray in the Simferopol district sabotage: eight rail carriages with grain derailed, five overturned. Later, the Ukrainian intelligence service reported that Russians used the railway exploded not only to transport grain but also weapons.

Statistics shows sabotage in Russia became more frequent in May. The most popular are arson of relay cabinets on railways and military stations, as well as damage to tracks themselves.
