A span of a railway bridge collapsed over the Viled River in Russia's Arkhangelsk region at about 5:10 a.m. on 10 November, derailing several freight cars and leaving at least eight long-distance passenger trains delayed or stranded. Officials said no one was injured. The Northern Railway press service reported the collapse on the Cheremukha to Viled stretch, and Meduza relayed the report. Governor Alexander Tsybulsky said an incident at the Viled station caused the span to fall, and Russian Railways said it sent buses to carry passengers onward and dispatched repair crews, without saying how long the track would be closed. The cause is under investigation by law enforcement, and it has not been disclosed. The Moscow Times reported that trains between major cities, including Moscow and St. Petersburg, were affected.
