   Second goods train derailed in Russian B

   Second goods train derailed in Russian Bryansk border region   
   By Robert Greenall, 5 days ago, BBC News   
   A goods train has derailed in the Russian border region of Bryansk, Russian   
   officials say, in the second such incident in two days.   
      
   Regional governor Alexander Bogomaz said a locomotive and several carriages   
   came off the tracks after an explosive device was detonated.   
      
   Russian railways described the incident as "illegal interference in the work   
   of railway transport".   
      
   There are not thought to have been any casualties.   
      
   The derailment happened at 19:47 local time (16:47 GMT) on a section of track   
   between Snezhetskaya and Beliye Berega, near the city of Bryansk, a post on   
   the railways' Telegram page said.   
      
   Emergency workers were on the scene, and all operations on the line had been   
   suspended, it added.   
      
   Videos of the incident posted on social media showed emergency vehicles   
   driving along the length of the train. The BBC found no copies of the video   
   prior to Tuesday evening, suggesting the images were new. Another video,   
   posted by Russia's investigative    
   committee, showed investigators at the site of the derailed carriages.   
      
   A similar incident happened on the Bryansk-Unecha line, much closer to the   
   Ukrainian border, on Monday morning - on this occasion the locomotive and   
   seven carriages caught fire.   
      
   The region - which also borders Belarus - has seen a number of acts of   
   sabotage since Russia invaded Ukraine.
