Two bridges collapse in Russia's Bryansk and Kursk regions, leaving seven people dead and over 70 more injured. RT speaks exclusively with the conductor of a subsequently derailed train. All the injured, including young children, have been taken to Moscow for treatment - the youngest being a five-month old baby. Another bridge collapses just hours later in the neighbouring Kursk region. Russia's state rail company says the bridge's beam gave way as a freight train was passing over it. Heads of regions in Russia's far north and Siberia report drone strikes in their areas - marking the first time such incidents have happened so deep inside the country.
