Ukrainian special services reveal sabotage of railway in Belgorod Oblast, Russia, causing derailment
Members of Ukraine's military intelligence service (HUR), together with soldiers from the Ukrainian military's special operations forces (SSO), blew up a railway in Russia's Belgorod Oblast on Sept. 10, military sources revealed to NV on Sept. 12.
The operation targeted the Stary Oskol - Valuyki section of the Belgorod railway, and succeeded in derailing a cargo train carrying supplies for the Russian military.
According to NV's sources, that section of the railway was mined, resulting in the overturning of the train's locomotive, as well as eleven of its carriages.
As a result, that section of the railway is currently unusable, military sources added.
On Sept. 11, Belgorod Oblast governor Vyacheslav Gladkov claimed that a train had derailed near the down of Novy Oskol due to "outside interference", though no casualties were reported. Russian prosecutors have reportedly launched an investigation into the incident on charges of so-called "terrorism."
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
