Also, in Russia, two bridges in regions bordering Ukraine collapsed over the weekend, killing at least seven people and injuring dozens.
On Saturday night, a bridge in Russia's Bryansk region collapsed onto a moving passenger train carrying over 300 people.
Seven people were killed and more than 70 others were injured in the disaster.
Hours later, early on Sunday, a second bridge collapsed in the neighboring Kursk region, derailing a cargo train and injuring the driver.
Both the Bryansk and Kursk regions border Ukraine and have seen a surge in attacks on infrastructure since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Moscow's Investigative Committee has classified the collapses as terrorist acts.
And the state-run Moscow Railways reported that the Bryansk bridge had been blown up in an "illegal interference."
However, Ukrainian officials have denied the involvement, accusing Russians of staging a "false flag" operation to "manipulate international opinion" ahead of the Istanbul negotiations.
