Sabotage on Russian Railways
Sabotage on Russian railways and temporarily occupied territories has become a widespread phenomenon since the beginning of the war. For instance, in June in the Belgorod region of Russia, there were reports of 15 cars derailing from a freight train.
Sometimes, acts of sabotage also occur on the territory of Belarus. In October, according to the "Belarusian Gayun," unidentified individuals detonated the railway at the Ozerishche station near Minsk.
As explained by analysts from the Institute for the Study of War, sabotage by anti-war activists continues to be a serious issue for the Russian authorities.
