(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to sources in the Main Intelligence Directorate, two Russian guards were killed and another had his legs blown off as a result of the attack.

According to the source, unknown mines were discovered by Russian Railways employees on the Maloarkhangelsk-Glazunovka railway section the day before. The occupiers called in an engineering team from the Russian National Guard special forces to the site. However, during the unsuccessful demining operation, an explosion occurred, killing two Russian guards and amputating the lower limbs of another.

As a result of the explosion, as of 22:00 on September 13, federal rail service was suspended, with more than 15 trains delayed in both directions. The sabotage on the railway was confirmed by the so-called“governor” Andrey Klychkov, and residents are posting footage of the fire.

Another attack was carried out on the night of September 14: at around 2:30 a.m., the St. Petersburg-Pskov railway connection was blown up on the Stroganovo-Mshinsk section. As a result of the attack, a locomotive derailed, and 15 fuel tanks were destroyed along with their fuel.

According to a source in the Main Intelligence Directorate, the operations were carried out jointly with units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

"These railway lines are critically important logistical links in supplying the occupying forces in the Kharkiv and Sumy sectors. As a result of the destruction of the railway infrastructure in these areas, the Russians will experience significant logistical difficulties, which in turn will substantially affect their ability to take active action against the Ukrainian Defense Forces," emphasizes the interlocutor in Ukrainian intelligence.
