The number of people injured in the recent terrorist attack on a railroad in Russia’s Bryansk Region has increased to 119, a representative of emergency services told Sputnik on Thursday.
“As of 7 a.m. Moscow time [04:00 GMT] on Thursday, 126 people were injured in the collapse of a bridge in the Bryansk Region, seven of them died,” the representative said, adding that five children were among those injured.
On Saturday night, an overpass collapsed on a Moscow-bound passenger train near the city of Bryansk, leaving seven people dead and more than 100 others were injured. Russian train operator Moscow Railways said the locomotive and carriages were derailed by the falling bridge.
On Sunday, Governor Alexander Bogomaz said that the bridge was blown up while the train was moving. The Russian Investigative Committee designated the blast as a terrorist attack on Tuesday.
