In russia, train with chemicals exploded near city with million inhabitants, information about threat hidden - media

The other day, an explosion was heard on a railway section between the Dzerzhinsk and Zhelnino stations in the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast of the aggressor country, the russian federation. Information about what happened is being hidden from residents - it is not available in the regional press or in large publications. This is reported by the Telegraph, citing sources in Ukrainian law enforcement agencies.

Thus, it is reported that the train, which was transporting special chemicals for russian defense enterprises, exploded approximately 40 km from Nizhny Novgorod, where about 1.2 million russians live.

"We record and track the movement of such dangerous goods," said the publication's interlocutor.

At the same time, he did not comment on the involvement of Ukrainian special services in what happened.

"There (in russia) is an old railway track, an old rolling stock. Many things could happen," the publication's source said.

The publication writes that photos from the scene of the accident have appeared in local public forums. The pictures show orange tanks. As noted, according to the European Agreement on the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road, an orange tank on a railway indicates the transportation of dangerous goods.

Message in local public forum

One of the messages states that firefighters arrived at the scene of the emergency, who were engaged in liquidation. Most of them were in chemical protection suits. At the same time, the russian authorities are hiding information about the threat to local residents, and regional media outlets are not writing about it either.

The publication also noted that in the past few days, several serious railway accidents have occurred in russia at once.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, stated that the aggressor country of russia is increasingly using chemical weapons in Ukraine to inflict as much "pain and suffering" as possible and force Ukraine to capitulate.
