In the first case, a bridge fell in front of a moving passenger train in Bryansk Region, causing more than 70 casualties. The second incident took place in Kursk Region when a railway bridge collapsed under a moving freight train. While there were no deaths, the train driver and two of his assistants were injured. | |
