Ukrainian media outlets said Kyiv was behind two blasts in Russia's far east within 24 hours. The railway provides an important supply line for logistics coming from China and North Korea. Putin is increasingly relying on the two countries for military support in the war...
In the first incident [on Nov. 30], a freight train caught fire while passing through the nine-mile Severomuysky Tunnel on the Baikal-Amur Mainline in the Republic of Buryatia on Wednesday night, forcing 50 carriages carrying diesel and jet fuel to stop.
Telegram channel Baza reported that 16 tanks at the front of the train were completely burned out and the railway line itself was damaged, making it hard to remove them from the tunnel...
A criminal case has been launched by the Eastern Interregional Transport Investigation Department, according to Russian newspaper Kommersant. Preliminary information points to an explosive device installed under the bottom of one of the carriages...
After the blast, trains were diverted along a bypass route via a 100-foot-high bridge, which Ukrainian intelligence had anticipated, but that was subject to another explosion on Friday.
"This is exactly what the SBU was counting on—when the train was passing over this 35-meter-high bridge, the explosive devices embedded in it went off," Ukrainian law enforcement sources told BBC News Ukrainian, according to a translation...
"Russian special services should get used to the fact that our people are everywhere. Even in distant Buryatia," another Ukrainian intelligence source said, according to Ukrainska Pravda.
Baza reported that travel is still blocked through the tunnel...

Daily demonstrations happening in Germany and Olaf Scholz is on shaky ground. He's next. When winter sets in, and German citizens freeze, he’ll be done. Europe and the EU are finished, as is NATO.

None of you know anything about the war.
You know nothing about it now, and when it is over you will still know nothing about it.

None of us!
Gulf 1 to iraq and Afghanistan 39.5 years service.
I have a whisper of knowledge
Though can’t argue too much with quote similar to victors write the history books, well at least till recently now revisionists with an agenda write the history books
One of my favorite historical areas is the Middle East, having served there quite a bit, and most of the “accepted” history is so far away from the truth to be pure fiction .

I appreciate your wealth of links, so all of those are fake or false?
Moscow parade was purposely small?
Russian women are not lamenting the loss of their men
Attack on Crimea did not happen?
Seems some of those are true
Just my 2 cents

None are true and all are part of Ukrainian hyperbole and propaganda we have been subjected to for nearly two years

Obviously killing Russians doesn’t win the war. Killing the Logistics Pipeline can bring conflicts to an end quickly.

The war.
Not war in general.
I was precise.

Buryatia is just north of Mongolia, how did the Ukrainians blow up something that far away? Was it a long range drone?

Good questions
No drone can go that far, but they might have planted some explosive charge on the railcar somewhere in Western Russia before the train moved, then had it recognize (by GPS?) when the train entered the tunnel, and start a timer ...
Definitely shows smarts and lots of good pre-planning
