“Russia-backed officials say a freight train has derailed in Crimea”

“Trains between Crimea’s two largest cities have been halted after a freight train derailed Thursday, according to Russia-backed authorities.

In a Telegram post, Crimean Railways announced the suspension of services on the Simferopol to Sevastopol line after the train was derailed by the “intervention of unauthorized persons.”

There were no casualties, it added.

Sergey Aksenov, the Moscow-appointed head of the peninsula, said on Telegram that wagons carrying grain “fell off the rails” in Simferopol. He later added that authorities were investigating.”

@DarthPutinKGB 12h

Day 449 of my 3 day war. Russian peace missiles accidently damaged imperialist Patriot air defense missiles whilst on their way to denazify a kindergarten.

Reckless Patriot missiles caused mid air collisions with all Russian peace missiles fired last night.

Damage caused by falling debris is fault of Kiev and its imperialist backers.
