Explosions caused two bridges to collapse and derailed two trains in western Russia overnight, officials said 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. The train's driver was among those killed, state-run Russian Railways said.

Hours later, officials said a second train derailed when the bridge beneath it collapsed in the nearby Kursk region, which also borders Ukraine.

It is part of war. How many bridges did we blow up in World War Two?

Are you Zeepers suggesting once again that Russia blew up their own bridges to teach Ukraine a lesson? …like Nord Stream?

The war marches on, I see this as the work of Mi-6 rather than Ukraine. This keeps up and lots of folks are going to die this summer. Stop feeding the beast of war.

Terrorism? Not even close. Bridges and other transportation infrastructure
Have long been regarded as legitimate military targets. They are part and parcel of military lines of communication.
