Bridges Bombed Near Ukraine: 7 Dead, Peace Talks Shadowed

Two Bridges Bombed Near Ukraine Border; Seven Dead, Investigation Underway MOSCOW, RUSSIA - In a shocking turn of events, two bridges in Russia's Bryansk and Kursk regions, bordering Ukraine, were destroyed in separate bombing incidents on June 2, 2025. The attacks resulted in seven fatalities and nineteen injuries. A Russian investigative committee has confirmed that the two incidents are linked and were not accidental. No statements have yet been released by Ukrainian officials. "At least seven people were killed and 69 injured when two bridges were bombed in two regions of Russia bordering Ukraine," reported Astro AWANI news anchor. The attacks occurred just one day before peace talks were scheduled to begin in Istanbul, adding to the already tense geopolitical situation. The first incident involved a railway bridge in the Bryansk region, which collapsed at 10:50 PM on Saturday. A passenger train carrying 388 passengers to Moscow was passing underneath at the time. The second incident involved a road bridge in the Kursk region, which was also destroyed. The Russian investigative committee's findings suggest a coordinated attack. The timing of the attacks, just before the crucial peace talks, raises concerns about potential escalation of the conflict. The international community is closely monitoring the situation and urging restraint from all parties involved. The hope remains that the peace talks will proceed as planned and lead to a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict.
