On May 31, 2025, a passenger train traveling from Moscow to Klimov derailed in Russia's Bryansk region after a bridge collapsed onto the tracks. The incident resulted in at least seven fatalities, including the locomotive driver, and injured 30 others, among them two children. Russian authorities have attributed the collapse to "illegal interference" with transport operations, though specific details remain undisclosed. The derailment occurred in the Vygonichsky district, approximately 100 km from the Ukrainian border, an area that has experienced increased tensions amid ongoing cross-border hostilities. Emergency services, comprising around 180 personnel, are actively engaged in rescue and recovery efforts. (PC: France 24)
