Ukrainian Forces Allegedly Disrupt Key Russia-China Railway Line
Two Attacks on Siberian Railway Highlight Ukraine's Ability to Strike Deep Inside Russian Territory
- Ukrainian forces reportedly conducted two successful attacks on a key railway line connecting Russia and China, according to multiple sources. The railway, located deep within Siberia, is said to be a major conduit for military supplies.
- The first attack targeted a freight train in the Severomuysky Tunnel in Buryatia, causing a fire that took hours to extinguish. The second attack occurred hours later on a train crossing a high bridge on a bypass route.
- Russian authorities have launched a criminal investigation into the incidents, which they have described as 'terrorist attacks'. However, they have not publicly attributed the attacks to Ukraine.
- Ukrainian media outlets have attributed the attacks to the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), but the SBU has not confirmed these reports.
- These attacks highlight Ukraine's ability to disrupt Russian logistics far from the front lines of the ongoing conflict between the two nations.
