Ukraine claimed responsibility this Friday for several attacks against a Russian railway line in Siberia, thousands of kilometers from the frontthe latest sabotage incident reported on Russian territory.
The Russian authorities have suffered multiple attacks against their infrastructure of transport since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, in February 2022. But it is the first time that they have occurred so far from the front.
The first attack took place on Wednesday night in the Besolov tunnel in Severomouisk, the longest in Russia, a source from the Ukrainian security forces (SBU) told AFP.
The second pointed out against an alternative path of the road, to which rail traffic was diverted after the first attack, the source said.
“The Russians fell into the SBU trap twice: another fuel train exploded on the Baikal-Amur railway” when it “passed over a bridge 35 meters high,” he added.
