It was transporting 40 oil tankers for the Russian army, the Ukrainians hit the train with American missiles

A Russian train headed from Crimea to supply oil to Moscow's military forces in Zaporizhzhia has been blown up by Ukrainians.

The train carrying 40 oil tankers was sabotaged thanks to an operation by the Ukrainian Intelligence Service (SBU) and the Ministry of Defense, thus reducing the logistical capacity of the Russian army in the occupied region.

The SBU admits to working with the Tavria collaborationist group to target the Russian train. The operation began near the village of Oleksiyivka in Bilmatsky district, when the Ukrainian SBU sabotaged the train tracks.

This caused the train to derail and the diesel tanks caught fire afterwards. Meanwhile, the Tavria group used the American HIMARS missile system to hit the Russians with precision, destroying the locomotive and the tracks, ensuring that the oil did not reach its destination.

The attack not only destroyed the oil tanks on the train, but also the tracks leading to other parts where Russian troops are deployed, which are facing food and fuel shortages this end of the year. (A2 Televizion)
