Trains moving from Azerbaijan stopped due to explosion in Dagestan

"We have not received any information about delay of trains because of explosion on Inchkhe-Izbirbash railway in Dagestan (Russia) yet," spokesman for Azerbaijan Railways Nadir Azmammadov said.

Russian media reported that the movement of Baku-Kiev passenger train was temporarily halted because of the explosion. The train is in Derbent. The blast occurred today about 10:00 Baku time on the 2,362 km North-Caucasian Railway. No one was injured due to the blast, however some lines were damaged.

Azerbaijan Railways chief engineer Gurban Nazirov said that demand for tickets for trains from Azerbaijan in this direction reduced by 20-30 percent due to frequent explosions on railways on the territory of Russia (Dagestan).

Nazirov said that explosions affect both passenger and freight transport and lead to delays in schedule of trains.
