In Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine, a train carrying grains experienced a derailment near the city of Simferopol. The incident caused eight wagons to overturn, resulting in the scattering of grain across the area. Following the derailment, emergency response teams from the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations were dispatched to the scene. No casualties or injuries were reported. A crane was brought in to lift the derailed wagons, while the railway line connecting Simferopol and Sevastopol was temporarily closed for traffic.
Russia has handed over the bodies of 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers in exchange for 19 Russian soldiers as part of an agreement reached during peace talks in Istanbul.
Russian Vice President Vladimir Medinsky stated, “As a continuation of the Istanbul agreements, we returned 1,000 bodies of Ukrainian soldiers today and received the bodies of 19 of our own. May they all rest in peace in their homeland.”
The Kremlin confirmed that the exchange follows the second round of peace talks held in June in Istanbul. According to Russian state agency TASS, the transfer marks the beginning of a broader process to return 3,000 Ukrainian soldiers’ bodies.
