The claim

A video allegedly shows a recent derailment of a train carrying Russian military equipment.

Our conclusion

The video is real, but from 2017, so it has nothing to do with the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Since the beginning of the Ukraine conflict, all sorts of accounts with “News” in their name have been trampling on each other's toes in order to bring the latest news about Russia and Ukraine as quickly as possible, but very many of the accounts are not really journalistic in nature. but also like to post unchecked false claims as long as it promises likes and shares.
A good example is the video of a derailed train with Russian military equipment - because the video is already several years old.

The video

The 37-second video shows Russian military equipment on a train, with several carriages appearing to have derailed. While pro-Ukraine accounts are happy about this, pro-Putin accounts claim that this was an attack by Ukraine - but neither side is right.

The train is said to be near the Russian border region of Bryansk, where serious fires broke out . The causes of the fires are still unclear, but pro-Russian accounts in particular are sharing the video as additional “proof” that Ukraine is behind it.

The video is from 2017

uploaded YouTube back in September 2017 .

The military train derailed in the Trans-Baikal Territory in September 2017. During the journey, 11 freight platforms and three wagons derailed; no one was injured. According to the company's own information, the freight train derailed at the Chita-2 station of the Trans-Baikal Railway.

Conclusion

The video of the derailed train with Russian military equipment is real - but from 2017, so it has absolutely nothing to do with the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the fires in the oil storage facilities in Bryansk.
