In the temporarily occupied Crimea, a railroad track was blown up in the Simferopol district, causing several cars to derail and suspending train traffic.

That's according to Telegram channel Baza, Ukrinform reports.

"An explosion on the railway in the Simferopol district of Crimea occurred at 8:20 am. As a result of the incident, five railroad cars with grain derailed. The movement of electric trains on the Simferopol-Sevastopol stretch has been suspended," the article says.

It is specified that it happened near the village of Chystenke. About 50 meters of the railroad tracks were damaged. A large crater was found at the site of the explosion. A total of 8 cars derailed, 5 of them overturned.

As Ukrinform reported, in March, an explosion at a substation in the village of Fedorivka, Melitopol district, Zaporizhzhia region, cut off power to a hub railway station through which the enemy is moving heavy weapons to the front.

Earlier, after the explosion in Dzhankoi, Kalibr missile systems transported by rail were destroyed in Crimea.
