As a result of a series of destructions in Russia, two key bridges in Bryansk and Kursk regions have been destroyed, reportedly due to deliberate explosions
During a special operation in the night of June 1, Russian specialists, under direct supervision of investigators, completed the complete dismantling of one of the destroyed bridges, which cannot be restored due to the extent of the damage. The other site, in the Kursk region, is planned to be restored, ensuring rapid movement of motor vehicles and trains within a few days. According to official statements, Bryansk region governor Alexander Bogomaz reported that the destroyed bridge in the region cannot be rebuilt because the damages were extensive, effectively demolishing the structure entirely. Specialists responded to the site, and for safety reasons, a decision was made to completely destroy the object—thus, the structure was entirely demolished through a controlled explosion to prevent any risks of further collapse or accident. However, in the neighboring Kursk region, the situation is different: authorities are already working on restoring traffic on the damaged bridge, said acting regional head Alexander Khinstein. It is planned that both road and railway traffic will be resumed within the next four days, which is especially important for establishing transportation links and stabilizing the regional situation. Restoration work is underway in the city of Zheleznogorsk, and specialists are making maximum efforts to quickly resume traffic. What underlies these destructions? Preliminary reports from law enforcement and investigators indicate that both bridges—in Bryansk and Kursk regions—were destroyed by explosions. According to initial information, the incidents occurred during the night of June 1 and have been classified as terrorist acts. Investigations are currently ongoing at the Russian Investigative Committee, under the article concerning terrorism, as the destruction of bridges poses a serious threat to public safety and regional stability. Initial reports suggested that during the collapse of the bridge in Bryansk region, possibly at the same time as a passenger train was passing, a tragedy occurred: seven people died, and about seventy others were injured. This incident ranks among the largest road accidents in the region in recent times. Authorities and rescue services are actively working to eliminate the consequences of the accident and provide assistance to the injured. Overall, the situation following such sabotage acts in Russia raises many questions regarding the security of occupation objects and measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. Investigations continue silently and under heightened tension, with police and security agencies under increased control, while regional authorities are striving to restore transportation links and stabilize the situation locally as quickly as possible.
