UKRAINE has blown up a massive Russian train carrying £3.2m worth of oil in a sabotage attack with missiles and drones.
A train with 40 oil tank wagons in the occupied Zaporizhzhia region was hit first by a bomb planted on the tracks.
The train was then hit in a precision strike by US-supplied HIMARS missiles, which destroyed the locomotive and the rear wagons.
Footage shows an explosion on a bridge in Russia’s Ulyanovsk region which Kyiv military intelligence agency GUR said has disrupted military transport operations by weakening its structure.
A spokesperson for the GUR said: “The explosion occurred in the railway district of Ulyanovsk, on a line near the Sviyaga River, a few kilometres from the local locomotive depot and the Ulyanovsk Motor Plant.
“The process of weakening the logistics facilities that Russia uses to wage a genocidal war against Ukraine continues.”
