In the night from 31 May to 1 June 2025, one bridge in Bryansk Oblast and one in Kursk Oblast, both in Russia, were partially destroyed in explosions.
The bridge in Bryansk Oblast, near the village of Vygonichi, was destroyed at about 22:44 Moscow Time (UTC+3) as a passenger train traveling on the Klimov–Moscow route was approaching the bridge. The train crashed into the debris of the fallen structure and derailed, leading to seven deaths and more than a hundred injuries.
