Tragedy Strikes as Two Russian Bridges Collapse, Killing Seven on Eve of Peace Talks
At least seven people have died following the collapse of two railway bridges in regions of Russia bordering Ukraine, which officials attribute to deliberate explosions. The incidents, which have led to deadly train crashes and numerous injuries, have been linked to sabotage activities by pro-Ukraine partisans. The bridge collapses occurred in quick succession, resulting in several casualties as trains derailed, with reports of at least 30 individuals injured. As news of the blasts circulates, the situation adds tension to the ongoing geopolitical conflict, occurring just before anticipated peace talks.
