<p>According to a source within the security structures speaking to <a href="https://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2023/11/30/7431023/">Ukrainska Pravda</a> media outlet, the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) was behind a successful operation that led to an explosion on the Baikal-Amur Mainline in Russia’s far eastern republic of Buryatia on the night of 30 November. This railway is reportedly the only significant rail link between Russia and China.</p>
<p>The source emphasized that this railway, which Russia also uses for military supplies, is now paralyzed. During the movement of a freight train, four explosive devices were detonated, as reported by sources.</p>
<blockquote><p>“This is effectively the only serious railway connection between Russia and China. And now this path, which Russia uses including for military supplies, is paralyzed,” another official source told <a href="https://www.rbc.ua/rus/news/sbu-pidirvala-strategichnu-zaliznitsyu-rosiyi-1701335325.html">RBC-Ukraine</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Russian propaganda outlets displayed images from the Severomuysky Tunnel, which was reportedly targeted by the SBU. The photos show the tunnel’s entrance and interior view.</p>

<p>Propagandists claimed that the “fire” on the freight train was caused by an “electrical network short circuit.”</p>

<blockquote><p>“Now the FSB is working on the spot, and railway workers are unsuccessfully trying to minimize the consequences of the SBU’s special operation,” Ukrainska Pravda wrote citing the source.</p></blockquote>
