Explosions caused two bridges to collapse and derailed two trains in Russia overnight, officials said on Sunday, without saying what had caused the blasts.
In one of the incidents, seven people were killed and dozens were injured.
The first bridge, in the Bryansk region on the border with Ukraine, collapsed on top of a passenger train on Saturday, causing the casualties.
Hours later, officials said a second train was derailed when the bridge beneath it collapsed in the nearby Kursk region, which also borders Ukraine.
Due to the collapse, a freight train was thrown off its rails onto the road below as the explosion collapsed the bridge.
Ukraine did not take responsibility for the attack but said Moscow’s key “artery” with the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia region and Crimea “has been destroyed.”
