Two bridges have collapsed overnight in separate incidents in Russian regions bordering Ukraine, killing at least seven people and injuring dozens more

A road bridge came down in Bryansk, bringing several heavy trucks on to a moving enger train late on Saturday, the regional governor said.

Emergency services said at least seven people were killed. At least 47 people were taken to hospital, including one child, Governor Alexander Bogomaz said.

Moscow Railway alleged on Telegram that the bridge came down as a result of "illegal interference".

Hours later a second bridge collapsed in the Zheleznogorsk district, derailing a locomotive train, acting governor Alexander Khinshtein said.

The train caught fire and a driver suffered injuries to his legs, Khinshtein said.

Khinshtein wrote on Telegram: "The cause of the bridge collapse will be established. All emergency services are working on the scene. I am keeping the situation under control."

It is unclear whether the two collapses in the neighbouring regions are related and Ukraine is yet to comment.

Pictures online from Bryansk showed mangled carriages and engers helping each other climb out of the wreckage in the dark.

Moscow's interregional transport prosecutor's office said an investigation had been launched.

Authorities said the train's locomotive and several cars derailed when the road bridge fell on to it.

Additional emergency workers, as well as rescue equipment and light towers for carrying out work at night have been sent to the area, according to Russian news agency TASS.

The train was going from the town of Klimovo to Moscow and was in the Vygonichsky district when the collapse happened, officials said.

engers were evacuated and guided to a meeting point at a nearby station, Moscow Railway said, adding: "They will be able to continue their journey on a specially formed reserve train" travelling from Bryansk to Moscow.

The first incident took place about 100km (62 miles) from the Ukraine border.

War is always a game of losses!

According to White House reports, it’s halting Russia does not want peace and going for more territories according to Graham.

I feel a time reached where Zelensky needs to accept defeat. The US who was once a strong er of the war is now a puppet to Putin. The EU cannot push much knowing they will be all alone in the eventuality of a confrontation.

Sometimes in life, you just need to accept defeat EVEN when you know you on the right stance.

Stop whining and drop the pretentious act. You're the same person celebrating and cheering on Hamas whenever they carry out more terrorist attacks. You and your ilks even celebrated October 7 and tagged it "resistance", yet here you are telling Zelensky to surrender his sovereign country to Russia.

Why haven't you ever told Hamas to release the hostages and surrender? 🙄
By the way, Ukraine's SBU has been conducting major operations to take out Russian bomber jets. Stay updated!

Those bridges are part of railway lines Russia depends on to supply troops and equipment to the front. Excellent work by Ukraine.

1. Hamas does not carryout terrorist attacks. Hamas has right to defend themselves
2. Oct7 is an act of resistance against Israeli occupation and not a terrorist attack.
3. Donbas does not belong to Zelensky. Whereas Palestine belongs to Palestinians. The difference is clear.
4. Hamas is ready to release all hostages as soon as Israel release kidnapped Palestinians in their jails
