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).

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.

    That’s pretty damn deep behind enemy lines! Guess Russian security services are too busy with culture war run-arounds to do actual work.

      Recruiting spies and saboteurs from that region of Russia should be very easy. Since a majority of their military conscription happens in the poorer rural regions first, I am sure there are quite a few people out there that are getting pissed off.

      That is just a theory of course, but I really hope it’s a sign of what is really going on in the country.
