Russian state news agency TASS reported that five long-distance trains were delayed Monday due to damage to a railway bridge across the Volga River in the city of Samara.

The blast occurred at about 1 am GMT, damaging the fence and bridge supports near the river bank.

This resulted in the partial suspension of suburban train service in the area.

The TASS report also quoted a local railway operator as saying that the damage to the bridge was caused by “unauthorized persons interfering” in the operation of the Zvezda-Chapayevsk railway.
