Often without claiming responsibility, Kyiv has used missiles and drones to target infrastructure used by Moscow’s military machine for its aggression in Ukraine.
But Friday’s explosion is the latest reported incident to hit Russia’s railways as well, which range from blasts to derailments.
The series of exercises aimed at inexplicable incidents has caused hypotheses about sabotage. In September, a load exercise left its traces in the District of Noval Oskol, in the Belgorod region, whose governor said that the incident had been through a “Illegal interference. “
In July, video on social media showed the smoking wreckage of a derailed train near the Lebedinsky mining and processing plant in Stary Oskol, another city in Belgorod.
Also in July a freight train derailed at a railway station in the Moscow region, while the previous month, five fuel tanks derailed near the port of Ust-Luga in the Leningrad region, which hosts one of Russia’s largest oil terminals.
Russia has itself been accused of sabotage and arson attacks on sites in the U.K., Germany and the Baltic States.
