Russian forces continue to attack Ukraine’s railway infrastructure. On the morning of March 4, a Russian drone hit an empty train in Mykolaiv region that had arrived for maintenance.
This was reported by Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration and Minister for Communities and Territories Development Oleksii Kuleba. According to him, one Ukrzaliznytsia employee was injured in the strike and received the necessary medical assistance.
In addition, on the evening of March 3 Russian forces attempted to attack a passenger train running on the Dnipro–Kovel route.
Kuleba said railway workers quickly followed safety protocols: the train was stopped and passengers were evacuated as a precaution. The drone struck several meters from the locomotive.
No passengers were injured, and after the threat disappeared the train continued its journey. Kuleba thanked railway workers for their attentiveness and professional work.
