Unverified reports suggest an improvised explosive device may have been placed within the Kursk bridge’s structure.
The Kursk incident occurred around 02:21 Moscow time (00:21 BST), derailing the locomotive of a freight train and three wagons, with no fatalities reported due to the train’s low speed.
