Read Replies (1) | Respond to of 1573980 Russia's main rail link to China has been left paralyzed after Ukraine's Security Service blew up a tunnel in the Russian republic of Buryatia, it has been reported. The explosions in the Severomuysky Tunnel were masterminded by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), "paralyzing the only serious route of railway communication between the Russian Federation and China," news outlet RBC-Ukraine reported on Thursday, citing sources with knowledge of the matter. Ukraine's SBU told Newsweek that officially, it can "neither confirm nor deny involvement" in the incident, but added that "death is the only prospect we can offer to the occupiers" who have "brought war, loss of life and violence to our land." ....... The Severomuysky Tunnel is a railroad connection on the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) in northwestern Buryatia. The Soviet-built BAM is a crucial transit railway that cuts through Siberia and is used to deliver cargo shipments to Asia. It is one of the world's longest railway networks, stretching around 4,300 kilometers, or almost 2,700 miles. Russian President Vladimir Putin has pushed to modernize the country's railways, including the BAM, in order to handle the rapid increase in freight traffic from China to Europe, and to reduce transport times between ports in Russia's Far East and the country's western border. An RBC-Ukraine source said that Russia used the route for military supplies. Russian-language Telegram channel Baza, which is linked to Russia's security services, said that a fuel tank caught fire while moving through the tunnel in Buryatia in the early hours of Thursday. .,..... Ukrainska Pravda's source also said that the BAM is the only major railway connection between Russia and China and that it has been used to transport military supplies. And currently this route, which Russia uses, specifically for military supplies, is paralyzed. ,,,,,,,,newsweek.com
