On the night of 29-30 November, an explosion occurred on the Baikal-Amur Mainline in the Severomuysky Tunnel, named after Vladimir Bessolov, located in Buryatia (Russia).
Source: Ukrainska Pravda’s source in the security forces
Details: The source notes that this is actually the only major railway connection between Russia and China. And currently this route, which Russia uses, specifically for military supplies, is paralysed.
The Russia China border is 4,200 km long. There are three major rail crossings between Russia and China, which is honestly less than I was expecting…
So yeah kudos destroying 1/3 of the rail connections between the two countries
Trans Siberian went all the way around the Chinese border before they were allowed to shorten it by going through China.
I guess it’s all desert or tundra for most of that border, I also assumed there were more crossings
