A goods train has derailed in the Russian border region of Bryansk, Russian officials say, in the second such incident in two days.

Regional governor Alexander Bogomaz said a locomotive and several carriages came off the tracks after an explosive device was detonated.

Russian railways described the incident as "illegal interference in the work of railway transport".
