As of this morning, voltage has already been applied to the catenary network in the main sections, but diesel locomotives continue to operate in some directions.

Also, a number of “minor hits” on railway infrastructure objects were recorded, which were quickly eliminated without significant impact on traffic. Over 60 trains with delays and reroutes.

“Ukrzaliznytsia” reported that due to the consequences of the night shelling, more than 60 trains are moving with a deviation from the schedule. It concerns both long-distance trains and international flights.

The Russian military regularly attacks Ukrainian regions with various types of weapons – attack UAVs, rockets, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles.

The leadership of Russia denies that the Russian army during a full-scale war inflicts targeted strikes on the civilian infrastructure of the cities and villages of Ukraine, killing the civilian population and destroying hospitals, schools, kindergartens, energy and water supply facilities.
