What did the news record on 27 October 2025 beyond the usual flow of political reports? Among the items was an industrial accident at the Sevastopol shipyard, where a floating crane overturned and two people were killed.
The accident came three days after another deadly incident, reported on 24 October 2025. An explosion at the railway station in Ovruch killed four people, the perpetrator among them, and left 12 others wounded.
