Bryansk is an administrative centre 154 km (96 miles) northeast of the Ukrainian border, near the Sumy and Chernihiv regions, and is about 380 km (236 miles) distant from Moscow, the Russian capital. -A large fire broke out early on Monday at an oil storage facility in the Russian city of Bryansk, the emergencies ministry said, adding that no one was injured. In a statement, the ministry said the fire took place at a facility owned by oil pipeline company Transneft at 2 a.m. Moscow time (2300 GMT), and there had been no need to evacuate any parts of the city of 400,000 people.

Russian media report that the locomotive fell off the tracks, which clearly appear damaged in unverified images from the incident.

The incident was not confirmed by Russian authorities or Russian media. The cause of the incident is being established, reports Bragazeta. The channel shared a video of the alleged incident, saying: "An accident happened on the railway in Belgorod. Three cars with soybeans derailed at the Kreida. No one was hurt, but it looks intimidating. "The train was traveling at a speed of 40 km/h when the embankment under the locomotive slid down," writes the channel. Belgorod local authorities had previously reported that Ukraine had sabotaged the Russian railway in the region. "As a result of the gathering, an employee of a service construction organization was injured."

Russian state media reports fires at civilian and military depots in Bryansk, which are potentially an act of sabotage by Kyiv.

Russia, where accidental fires are common due to dilapidated infrastructure, has blamed the fire in Tver on ageing wiring. The Russian defence ministry has promised to bomb targets in Kyiv in response to what it said were “terrorist and sabotage” attacks on its territory carried out by Ukraine’s “nationalist regime”. I think it was probably a Ukrainian attack, but we cannot be certain,” Lee said.
