Russian train derailed bomb blast in Ukraine

A Russian freight train was deliberately derailed in a bomb attack in the Ukrainian region of Donetsk.

Fourteen carriages were blown off the tracks after a bomb placed between the lines exploded. Fortunately, no casualties had been reported so far.

The attack was most definitely part of the ongoing confrontation between government troops and pro-Russian separatists, in spite of the ceasefire announced by President Poroshenko on Friday and which the rebels pledged to respect.
