Ukrainian Armed Forces strike railway tracks in Kursk's Lgov, says mayor

According to Klemeshov, four arrivals were recorded in the city. Two residential buildings and the railway tracks of the Lgov-Kyiv station were damaged. There was also a fire in a warehouse of one of the city's factories. No residents were injured.

“I do not recommend that anyone who left the city return until the situation has finally stabilized,” the mayor wrote.

Hardened steel is used for railway tracks because it's more wear resistant, but it's also more brittle and prone to failure along grain boundaries.
