Ukrainian Railways has successfully repaired most of the railway sections damaged during a recent Russian missile strike. Train services are gradually returning to their regular schedules.
The company reported that restoration efforts focused on the Zhytomyr, Vinnytsia, and Rivne regions, where railway tracks, overhead wires, and support structures were repaired.
However, work continues in Zhytomyr due to significant damage caused by numerous drone strikes, which have severely impacted the railway infrastructure.
As a result, some trains are experiencing delays while rerouting. Passengers are advised to check their train status on the uz-vezemo website, as delay times may vary. Notifications will also be provided through the mobile application, and travelers are encouraged to pay attention to announcements at train stations.
On the night of March 7, Russian forces conducted a combined attack on various Ukrainian cities, deploying drones, ballistic, and cruise missiles.
By morning, Ukrainian Railways reported that the mass assault had damaged railway infrastructure, forcing several trains to alter their routes.
Ukrainian Minister for Community and Territorial Development Oleksiy Kuleba later confirmed that railway substations and bridges had sustained damage.
For more details on the combined strike, refer to the report from RBC-Ukraine.
Ukrainian Railways has made significant progress in restoring services after recent attacks caused extensive damage to the railway infrastructure. While most routes are resuming, some delays persist due to ongoing repairs, particularly in the Zhytomyr region.
