The engineer of the “Razumne-Tomarovka” train, which was carrying 15 passengers, spotted the damage in time and applied emergency brakes. Despite these efforts, the train still derailed. A 75-year-old woman was injured in the incident. Sappers later arrived at the scene and removed a FAB-500 aerial bomb. Initially, Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said the derailment may have been caused by an explosion. He later edited his statement, removing any reference to that version of events. Earlier, Astra reported, citing sources in Russia’s Emergencies Ministry and monitoring data, that since the beginning of the year Russian aviation has accidentally dropped at least 24 high-explosive bombs on Russian territory and occupied regions of Ukraine. The latest cases were recorded in Belgorod Oblast and in occupied Debaltseve in Ukraine’s Donetsk region, where a munition fell into a private yard. In those incidents, no casualties were reported. According to journalists, on March 15 a Russian FAB-500 aerial bomb “unauthorizedly disembarked” from an aircraft in the village of Luhanske near Debaltseve. The bomb landed in a vegetable garden next to a residential building on Artema Street.
