Accident in the Middle Urals: 20 cars derailed, 7 tanks caught fire One of the biggest emergencies of the year happened on the Sverdlovsk railway tonight (around half past one). In the section from Kartsevo - Sadalnikovo in the section Resheti - Armil, 20 freight train cars went down, and seven tanks caught fire. 106 people and 31 pieces of equipment were involved in eliminating the consequences, the Ministry of Emergency Situations reported. But it was only possible to disconnect the burning part of the train three hours later (at 04:47). The recovery train began moving 54 cars that were not damaged to a safe distance. Fortunately, there were no casualties. But the approval of the nearby track was violated, and train traffic on both tracks had to be stopped. The transport prosecutor's office of Sverdlovsk has already started an investigation after the accident. This is not the only high-profile emergency in the last 24 hours. A day earlier, in the Bryansk region, in the Novozhivkov-Zelinka section, a freight train driver was killed after a UAV attack, and an assistant was slightly injured. The locomotive was damaged, but there was no derailment. Charge flow in Telegram | up to MAX.
