Overview

• Sources in Ukraine’s military intelligence say HUR and Special Operations Forces executed coordinated actions on the Oryol–Kursk and St. Petersburg–Pskov lines, derailing a locomotive and destroying 15 fuel tank cars on the Stroganovo–Mshinskaya section.
• Oryol Oblast’s governor confirmed that an explosion during a demining attempt on the Maloarkhangelsk–Glazunovka section killed two Rosgvardiya officers and seriously injured another, prompting rail suspensions and widespread delays.
• Ukrainian officials characterize the targeted routes as vital logistics corridors for Russian operations in the Kharkiv and Sumy directions, saying the disruptions will complicate resupply.
• Separately in Ukraine, ammunition detonated aboard a military cargo train near Boyarka in the Kyiv region, damaging tracks, causing detours and multi-hour delays, and leading to medical assistance for three civilians.
• Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko said emergency services and Ukrzaliznytsia are clearing damage and laying new rails, with 28 trains on altered routes, delays cut to roughly 1.5–3 hours, shuttle service in place, and further inspections ongoing.
