Russian freight train derails in border region of Belgorod

Moscow, Sep 11 : A Russian freight train derailed late Tuesday in the border region of Belgorod after "interference by unauthorized people," the local railway operator said Wednesday.

Train traffic on this section is temporarily closed and work is underway to restore the railway track and contact network, it added, Xinhua news agency reported.
