At least three people have died **after a highway bridge collapsed in a region close to the Ukraine border, according to Russian emergency services.**

The bridge in Bryansk brought down several heavy trucks onto a moving passenger train, with 31 people also reportedly injured.

The Russian Emergencies Ministry said fire and rescue units were attempting to find people who had been travelling on the train.

> **In a statement posted to Telegram, Moscow Railway alleged the bridge had collapsed “as a result of illegal interference in transport operations”.**
> **Moscow’s interregional transport prosecutor’s office said an investigation had been launched.**
> **Additional emergency workers, as well as rescue equipment and light towers for carrying out work at night have been sent to the area, according to Russian news agency TASS.**

> **My first thought to this is – Ukraine targeting more civilians**

> **A bridge collapsed onto a passenger train in Russia’s western Bryansk region on Sunday, killing seven people and injuring 30 others, the region’s governor Alexander Bogomaz has said.**

> While the exact cause of the incident remains unknown, Russian Railways said the bridge pillar collapsed due to *“illegal interference with transport operations.”*

**It seems “saboteurs” blew up the bridge above as the train passed beneath it.**

> The newspaper Izvestia cited regional health officials as saying the bridge was brought down by an explosion. Multiple Telegram news channels suggested the collapse was likely caused by sabotage.
