Belarusian Railway Workers Community: Tracks On Which They Load Military Equipment Blown Up At Aziaryshcha Station

A section of the railway track and switch were damaged.

Yesterday, on October 5, 2023, at about 23:30, an explosion occurred at the Aziaryshcha station (Minsk branch of the Belarusian Railways).

This was reported by Belarusian Telegram channels, and this information was also confirmed by the Belarusian Railway Workers Community.

According to preliminary information, a section of the railway track and switch connecting the station tracks with the loading and unloading tracks at the location of the cargo ramps were damaged.

These engineering structures at the specified station are periodically used to perform loading and unloading operations with military equipment.

Aziaryshcha is the main station where military equipment is loaded in the Minsk region. The 120th and 127th Signal Brigades, as well as the 56th Signal Regiment are located near the station.

From Aziaryshcha station in the direction of Vorsha station there are the stations named Kalodzishchy and Haradzishcha.

Adjacent to the Haradzishcha station is a branch of the railway line to military unit #42776. The Kalodzishchy station is connected by a separate path to the Shabany station, which creates a route bypassing Minsk when following the Vorsha - Brest route (or in the opposite direction).

This bypass is actively used to increase secrecy during military transportations of Russian equipment, ammunition and troops in the direction of Baranavichy and Luninets.
