Other media organizations speculated it might have been the work of partisans, but The Kyiv Independent could independently confirm that.

Kyiv has also not commented on the incident. According to Russian Telegram channels, locals said that they heard explosions around the time the train derailed. The previous day, a fire also broke out at a gunpowder plant in Kotovsk, a town in Russia's Tambov Oblast.

Local residents said they heard an explosion before the fire erupted at the factory. The fire burned an area of over 300 meters. Russian media claimed the fire was extinguished after an hour and a half.

It is one of the largest industrial facilities in Russia. Sabotage operations have been carried out against targets both in Russia and in occupied parts of Ukraine. A train carrying ammunition and fuel was blown up in occupied Melitopol on Oct.
