Fifteen freight cars derailed in the Alexeyevsky District of Russia’s Belgorod region late on Saturday night, June 10. According to an announcement from the region’s governor there were no reported injuries. Though officials have yet to establish the cause of the incident, local light-rail and commuter-train traffic was suspended as a safety measure.

For the past several weeks, the Belgorod region has come under frequent artillery fire from Ukraine and faced incursions from armed militia based in Ukraine.

As Ukraine has increasingly defended itself against invasion by striking targets inside Russia, there have been multiple bombings at railroads in recent months, most notably in May 2023, when two explosions in as many days derailed train cars in the Bryansk region.
