“A targeted strike”: Russians destroy Kyiv-Kharkiv Intercity train

Russian troops attacked a passenger train. The Intercity train on the Kyiv-Kharkiv route was supposed to start operating today. This was reported by Oleksandr Petrovsky, chairman of the board of Ukrzaliznytsia, on Facebook.

He noted that the flights have not been canceled yet. Passenger cars will be used on the route, including those recently manufactured at the factory.

“The impact on the rolling stock was minimized by the quick actions of the employees,” the official said.

Railway workers quickly restored the infrastructure of the damaged junction in Koziatyn. All trains bound for Vinnytsia, Lviv, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, and Odesa will pass through Koziatyn without detouring around the previously damaged section.

Trains will run on backup diesel locomotives on one of the sections of the region. Infrastructure restoration is still ongoing.

Russian troops attacked Kyiv on August 28. As a result of the strike, 38 people were injured, and 30 of them were hospitalized in the capital’s hospitals. According to preliminary data, more than ten people were killed, including children.

Non-residential buildings and high-rise buildings were damaged, as well as educational institutions and transport infrastructure. Emergency services are working everywhere on the ground.

In the city center, a shopping center was hit. Residential buildings near it were damaged.

In the Darnytskyi district, residential buildings were damaged, including the destruction of a five-story building from the first to the fifth floors. Debris from drones fell on the roof of a nine-story residential building, causing a fire.

Work is ongoing to eliminate the consequences.
