SUDSCHA (dpa-AFX) – In the western Russian region of Kursk near the border with Ukraine, a railway bridge has partially collapsed. Governor Roman Starowoit spoke of an act of sabotage in a video message on Sunday. An investigation has been initiated. According to the information, no one was injured.
The district of Suja, in which the bridge between the city of the same name and the village of Sosnovy Bor is located, borders on the north-eastern Ukrainian region of Sumy, from which the Russian armed forces had withdrawn. It was initially unclear whether there was a connection with the war in the neighboring country. Most recently, Russia had repeatedly accused Ukraine of attacks on its territory. In the Kursk area there is an increased warning level due to the “danger of terrorism”./bvi/DP/he
