Ukrainian Armed Forces strike railway tracks in Kursk's Lgov, says mayor

According to Klemeshov, four arrivals were recorded in the city. Two residential buildings and the railway tracks of the Lgov-Kyiv station were damaged. There was also a fire in a warehouse of one of the city's factories. No residents were injured.

“I do not recommend that anyone who left the city return until the situation has finally stabilized,” the mayor wrote.

I like how this is news and is seen as a victory. Not hating or anything, but funny because give me an angle grinder and I can do the same damage as what I’m assuming was a device made for warfare.

Those tracks look like wood🤨 That can't be normal, right?

Hardened steel is used for railway tracks because it's more wear resistant, but it's also more brittle and prone to failure along grain boundaries.

Are you talking about the planks the track's laid on? Pretty normal for that to be wood actually. The AMTRACK tracks in the USA DC area are all like that.
