Explosions occurred at critical Russian railway facilities on November 20 and 28, destroying fuel depots and damaging railway tracks. This disrupted the movement of freight trains, including those used to supply the Russian invading forces.

This was reported to Ukrinform by a knowledgeable source in the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU).

According to the source, in the afternoon of November 20, an explosion occurred on the railway tracks in the settlement of Baryshovo in Novosibirsk region on the West Siberian Railway.

The source in DIU stated that the explosion destroyed the railway track, making it impossible for freight trains to pass and disrupting enemy logistics routes.

Another explosion took place on November 28 at the Unecha junction station of the Moscow Railway (Bryansk branch) along the Bryansk-Gomel line. This logistics route is used to transport fuel, lubricants, and military equipment into Belarus. The explosion damaged a railway depot transporting fuel and at least two fuel tank cars, in addition to damaging the railway track.

The DIU noted that despite Russian intelligence agencies’ usual efforts to conceal the consequences of such incidents, local residents discussed the events on social media, sharing rumors and impressions about the explosions.

Previously, in Berdiansk, Zaporizhzhia region, a successful operation by Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence and the Resistance Movement on November 19 destroyed a Tigr armored vehicle, two pickup trucks, and eliminated nine Russian occupiers.
