There was no immediate indication the fire on Monday at the oil storage facility was related to the war in Ukraine. (Reuters) – A large fire was reported early on Monday at an oil storage facility in the Russian city of Bryansk, Russian news agencies reported, citing the emergency services ministry. Bryansk is located about 380 km (236 miles) southwest of Moscow. The city is the administrative centre of the Bryansk region, which borders Ukraine.
Russian media report that the locomotive fell off the tracks, which clearly appear damaged in unverified images from the incident.
The incident was not confirmed by Russian authorities or Russian media. The cause of the incident is being established, reports Bragazeta. The channel shared a video of the alleged incident, saying: "An accident happened on the railway in Belgorod. Three cars with soybeans derailed at the Kreida. No one was hurt, but it looks intimidating. "The train was traveling at a speed of 40 km/h when the embankment under the locomotive slid down," writes the channel. Belgorod local authorities had previously reported that Ukraine had sabotaged the Russian railway in the region. "As a result of the gathering, an employee of a service construction organization was injured."
Russian state media reports fires at civilian and military depots in Bryansk, which are potentially an act of sabotage by Kyiv.
Russia, where accidental fires are common due to dilapidated infrastructure, has blamed the fire in Tver on ageing wiring. The Russian defence ministry has promised to bomb targets in Kyiv in response to what it said were “terrorist and sabotage” attacks on its territory carried out by Ukraine’s “nationalist regime”. I think it was probably a Ukrainian attack, but we cannot be certain,” Lee said.
