Russia accused Kiev on Tuesday of the origin of the explosions that caused two bridges and train accidents in which seven people died and over 100 were injured, including AFP and EFE, quoted by Agerpres.
“It is obvious that the terrorists, acting on the orders of the Kiev regime, have planned everything with maximum accuracy for their attacks to affect hundreds of civilians,” the Russian investigation committee said in a statement.
The investigators have found fragments of explosive devices at the places of the train derailment and intend to bring to the justice the “organizers and authors of these inhuman crimes”, the source added.
The explosions occurred on Saturday night in Sunday in the Russian regions Kursk and Briansk, located on the border with Ukraine, and on the eve of the second round of negotiations between Russian and Ukrainian representatives in Istanbul.
