The enemy attacked a suburban depot in the Dnepropetrovsk region for the second time.
Last night, Russia struck railway infrastructure in Dnipro and several railway stations in the Kharkiv region, according to Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction of Ukraine and Minister for Communities and Territories Development Oleksiy Kuleba.
According to him, dozens of UAVs were critically damaged at a suburban depot that services passenger trains in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
“For the second time during the Great War, the enemy is striking it massively. The main repair shop was significantly damaged. The Dnipro train station was damaged. Clearing the rubble and rapid restoration have already begun. Despite this, morning commuter trains from Dnipro are running on schedule,” the official noted.
Also, as Kuleba reported, the enemy attacked a number of railway stations in the Kharkiv region.Read also:
“A railway worker was injured in Berestyn and received all necessary medical care. Train cars and other infrastructure at four stations were damaged. The terrorist attacks are specifically aimed at destroying the logistics system. But despite the shelling, we are doing everything possible to maintain communication between communities and quickly restore full service in all directions,” he said.
Ukrzaliznytsia noted that, as a result of a series of massive shelling attacks on the city of Dnipro, passenger trains No. 31 Zaporizhzhia-Przemysl and No. 119 Dnipro-Kholm departed with a delay of approximately 2.5 hours. The agency noted that morning trains on the Dnipro route are now running on schedule.
They added that passengers and crews of these trains, as well as commuter train No. 6044 Pyatikhatki – Dnepr, were in the station shelter throughout the attack and were not damaged.
“The blast wave blew out several windows in train cars and at the station; in addition, the region was partially without power, so railway workers deployed backup diesel locomotives – service has been fully restored,” UZ reported.
Also, due to the consequences of shelling in the Kharkiv region, Ukrzaliznytsia partially changed the route of trains No. 227 Barvinkove – Ivano-Frankivsk and No. 102 Kherson – Barvinkove.
“The detour means additional travel time for passengers. We apologize in advance for this inconvenience. However, we will deliver you safely,” Ukrzaliznytsia assured.
Morning commuter train routes to Berestina are partially restricted until restoration work is completed, railway workers explained:
“This applies to trains from Kharkiv, Orelka, Merefa, and Poltava-Yuzhnaya. Please listen carefully to the announcements of railway workers and train crews at your stations.”
