Around 5 o'clock in the morning near the village of Pyasachevo, an extraordinary railway incident occurred, in which a freight train of a private carrier completely left the tracks. The Minister of Transport, Grozdan Karadjov, confirmed to the national television BNT that a fire resulted from the incident, which was subsequently brought under control.
Initial data shows that out of a total of 33 carriages, 8 have derailed, and experts do not rule out the possibility that this number may increase. An additional locomotive was sent to the site of the incident to pull out the remaining carriages and prevent more extensive damage.
Official representatives categorically emphasized that there are no injured people and no threat to nearby settlements. Specialized teams are currently conducting a detailed investigation into the causes of the incident, which remain unclear.
