Moscow : At least 60 people were injured when a powerful explosion derailed an express near Veliky Novgorod in northwestern Russia, officials said, adding terrorist sabotage was the only “possible explanation”.
More than 30 people were hospitalised after 12 of 13 cars and the locomotive of the four-hour Nevsky Express went off the rails Monday at 9.38 p.m. (5:38 p.m. GMT). The train from Moscow to St. Petersburg travels at a speed of 200 km/h.
The injured included two foreigners, a hospital official said.
