The little red marker is the site of the boom & derailment

No casualties reported (possibly because partisans are more humane that Wagner & Russian troops?)

8. i looked up the location where the train was and it is just north of Ukraine's border ....

.... with Russia by about 50 to 100 miles. I bet you the fuel and timbers were for Russia's
war on the people of Ukraine.

3. Hope it's a setback for russia in Ukraine!

At this point, I don't care who's responsible, just get russia out of Ukraine.

I wish we would've done more for Chechnya. Maybe would've delayed or stopped putin's thirst for war.

5. Russian opposition, most likely

They've been a lot more active than the Kremlin wants to admit. This sounds like resistance, the explosion timed to the arrival of the train, although it's within the range of previous drone strikes using souped up Soviet era drones.

ETA: There is video, it was too big for them to hide:

Might want to watch with sound off, obnoxious music alert, but it was the least offensive I could find.

Free Russia forces have claimed responsibility.

7. Awww

Why is Russia so goddamn warmongering? Seems like they have been a mean, warlike people forEVER.

Wonder what it would be like if they had a real democracy and joined the rest of the world in cooperation?
