 Rail traffic has been suspended between Simferopol, capital of the Crimean Peninsula, and the city of Sevastopol. After a freight train carrying grain derailed, the region's Russian-installed leaders said on May 18. The derailment was caused by interference by outsiders, Crimean railways said in a statement. There were no casualties reported. Local Russian-appointed authorities said that they planned to resume railroad traffic by the evening earlier. The Baza Telegram channel, which has links to Russian security services, had reported an explosion on a railway line in the region, which was annexed by Russia in 2014.On Wednesday, Russia renewed the Black Sea grain deal, a Turkish broker-de-court, which facilitates agricultural exports from Russia and Ukraine on the Black Sea.
