Early this morning in Russia's Arkhangelsk region, a span of a railroad bridge over the Viled River collapsed. Several cars of a freight train derailed, Exilenova reports.
The collapse occurred today at 5:10 a.m. on the Cheremukha–Viled section. Traffic on this section has been completely blocked.
Investigators are preliminarily considering the possibility of sabotage, but there is no official confirmation yet.

The collapsed bridge is part of the Pechora Railway. This is an important transportation corridor: passenger and freight trains travel along it to the northern regions of Russia.
Railway logistics have been disrupted due to the bridge's collapse.
On November 10, trilateral talks between Ukraine, the US, and Russia began in Abu Dhabi.
These are the first such meetings since February, and they will last two days.
The US is discussing the idea of changing the borders of Ukraine's regions.
According to The Economist, this would allow Russia to claim full control over the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, while Kyiv would not have to surrender the cities it currently holds.
