The public relations department of the IRGC’s Ninava Corps in Golestan Province announced that the Agh Tekeh Khan Bridge in Agh Qala County was targeted in an attack late Tuesday evening. According to the official statement, the strike was executed using a cruise missile, causing physical damage to a section of the railway bridge.
While the Ninava Corps confirmed the strike, it stated that the incident resulted in no casualties. Local authorities have not yet released detailed information regarding the exact extent of the structural damage to the bridge or the current status of rail traffic along this route.
The Agh Tekeh Khan Bridge is located on the Agh Qala–Incheh Borun railway line, a trade and transit route considered a critical piece of strategic infrastructure for Iran. Via the Incheh Borun rail border, this line connects Iran to the rail networks of Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, and ultimately Russia, serving as a primary branch of the eastern North-South Rail Corridor.
The corridor originates in Golestan Province and the city of Agh Qala, crossing the Incheh Borun border roughly 70 kilometers north of the city to integrate with the transit networks of Central Asia and Russia. In recent years, this path has emerged as one of Iran’s most vital transit gateways, playing a significant role in moving freight between Iran, Russia, and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
