Overnight explosions in western Russia led to the collapse of two bridges, derailing trains and causing chaos, officials reported on Sunday.
In Bryansk, a passenger train was affected, resulting in seven deaths, including the train's driver. A freight train derailed in Kursk, having no casualties but igniting a fire.
