Russian Railways (RZhD) explained the halt of train traffic on the Stroganovo-Mshinskaya section as due to "technical reasons." Freight and passenger trains are being rerouted along a bypass track, resulting in delays of several hours.
According to information from open sources, Russian authorities have sent special services to the scene of the incident. The tracks are also being cleared of overturned cars. At the same time, there are no photos or videos from the site, as the internet has been completely cut off in the area.
A source of RBC-Ukraine in the Defense Intelligence explained that such operations directly affect Russia’s logistical and military capabilities, since RZhD is the backbone of the Russian army’s logistics and a significant financial contributor to the military budget.
