On the night of October 7, Russian occupiers once again struck Ukraine’s energy and railway infrastructure. The Poltava and Sumy regions were subjected to massive attacks.
This was reported by the Minister of Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine, Oleksiy Kuleba.
In Poltava, the locomotive depot, power supply facilities, and traction substations were hit. Administrative and storage facilities and rolling stock were damaged. Fires broke out, but have already been extinguished. There were no casualties.
“Due to the attack, trains between Kharkiv and Lviv, Lviv and Kharkiv, and Kramatorsk and Lviv were temporarily delayed, but they are now all running,” the statement said.
