In the Kursk region on the night of Sunday, June 1, there was a bridge collapse during the movement of a freight train. As a result, part of the train fell onto a highway and a fire started, said Alexander Khinshtein, acting governor of the region. Three people were injured in the incident - one driver and two of his assistants, the Russian Investigative Committee (ICR) said.

The cause of the bridge collapse was an explosion, the Investigative Committee noted.

The accident occurred at the 48th kilometer of the highway Trosna-Kalinovka in the Zheleznogorsk district. “The highway under the bridge is blocked,” - specified Khinshtein.

Earlier, a bridge collapsed in the Bryansk region, its governor said of the explosion

This is the second collapse of a transportation bridge in Russia in a day. A few hours earlier, an automobile bridge collapsed in the Bryansk region, under which a passenger train traveling on the Klimovo-Moscow route was passing at that moment. The train derailed. The accident killed seven people and injured 69, including three children, said the governor of the region, Alexander Bogomaz. Among the injured, two adults and one child are in serious condition. Forty-seven people have been hospitalized.

Bogomaz later said the bridge near Bryansk had been blown up. “There was an explosion of the bridge on the highway during the movement of the train, where there were 388 passengers,” Bogomaz said on air on the Rossiya 24 TV channel.

The press service of the Moscow Railroad (MZhD) said that in the evening of May 31 at the Pilshino - Vygonichi crossing “there was a derailment of a locomotive and cars” of a passenger train. According to the MZhD, it happened “due to the collapse of a road bridge span as a result of illegal interference in transportation”.

DeepL translation of Ukrainian Pravda article

Commander of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapaty submitted his resignation due to the tragedy at the 239th training ground, where a Russian strike killed a military training battalion.

Source: Drapaty on Facebook

Direct speech: “I have decided to submit my resignation from the post of Commander of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This is a deliberate step dictated by my personal sense of responsibility for the tragedy at the 239th training ground, which resulted in the deaths of our soldiers.”

Details: Drapaty noted that as a commander, he failed to fully ensure the execution of his orders.

“I did not push, did not convince, did not change the attitude to the man in the ranks. This is my responsibility.

The behavior of the soldiers matters, but the main responsibility always lies with the command. It is the commanders who determine the rules, make decisions and are responsible for the consequences,” he wrote.

Drapaty noted that mutual responsibility and impunity are poison for the army.

“I tried to eradicate it from the Land Forces. But if tragedies are repeated, it means that my efforts were not enough,” he added.

Direct speech: “An army where commanders are personally responsible for people's lives lives. An army where no one is responsible for a loss is dying from within.

12 dead. There are wounded. These are young guys from a training battalion. Most of them were in shelters. They were supposed to study, live, fight - not die. My deepest condolences to the families of the victims and to all those who suffered.”

Details: Drapatyi said he had initiated an investigation into all the circumstances of the tragedy: the actions of commanders, the condition of shelters, and the effectiveness of warning systems. All victims are being provided with assistance.

“We will not win this war if we do not build an army where honor is not a word, but an action. Where responsibility is not a punishment but a basis of trust. Where every commander is responsible every day - for an order, for a decision, for a person,” he said.

What happened before: On June 1, Russian troops launched a missile attack on a training unit of the Ukrainian Army, leaving at least 12 dead and more than 60 wounded.

On March 3, the Land Forces reported that on March 1, one of their units was the target of an enemy missile attack, with some dead and wounded. Prior to that, information was published on social media about a Russian attack on a training ground in Cherkaske, Dnipro region, where Ukrainian soldiers of the 157th Separate Mechanized Brigade were lining up. At the time, Drapaty said that he was personally monitoring every step to find out everything second by second.

English-speaking community for anniversaries. This also includes personal events!

Rules:

  • Mandatory title format: "X years ago today […]", where of course X is replaced by the number of years.
  • X ≥ 5.
  • English language only, but links to non-English sources are allowed if a (short) English summary is provided.

Why move instances?
I moved instances (from feddit.nl to sopuli.xyz) to avoid some… rather unpleasant users of the fediverse.

Why not post anniversary related to [topic] to community about [topic]?
I don't want to look for a fitting community every time I post an anniversary. The purpose of it is to cover a wide range of topics, kinda like the Ask Lemmy communities (but with much less potential for engagement obviously).

Why the mandatory title format?
Because a 75th anniversary is more special than a 74th anniversary, you know what I'm saying?

What about timezones?
My posts could be one day off in your timezone, your posts could be one day off in my timezone. It's fine.
