Quick Glance: Ukraine Blows Up Railway Bridge in Russia

Ukraine claimed responsibility for blowing up a railway bridge in southwest Russia used by Moscow for transporting 'military cargo'.

The bridge blast in Russia's Samara region on Monday, March 4, 2024, is the latest in a series of explosions targeting Russia's rail network, which Ukraine alleges is utilized by Moscow for moving troops and equipment for its invasion.

Russia's railway operator stated that 'an intervention by non-authorised persons' caused the explosion, leading to the suspension of rail traffic in that section.

A Russian drone strike on an apartment block in the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa resulted in at least 10 casualties, including a four-month-old baby and a two-year-old, confirmed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
