Railway infrastructure in the Kyiv region gets damaged due to Russian shelling
In the early hours of today, overnight Russian shelling in the Kyiv region caused significant damage to the railway infrastructure. As a result, several passenger trains have been affected, with delays reported for multiple routes.
According to reports from Ukrainzaliznytsia, the affected trains include No74 (Przemysl - Kharkiv), No24 (CheΕm - Kyiv), No144 (Rakhiv - Sumy), No2 (Ivano-Frankivsk - Kharkiv), No21 (Kharkiv - Lviv), No106 (Odesa - Kyiv), and No24 (Kyiv - CheΕm). The exact locations of the damage are not specified, and the extent of the damage to the railway infrastructure remains unclear.
Passengers are advised to monitor updates on delays on the "Ukrzaliznytsia" website: uz-vezemo.uz.gov.ua/delayform. The specific stations where these trains might reach late are not detailed in the available sources, but it is suggested that the disruption could be significant, given that Russia and Ukraine have targeted railway infrastructure to disrupt supply lines. An attack on a railway hub in Losowa resulted in casualties, indicating the potential for widespread delays in affected stations.
It's important to note that the specific impact of these delays on passengers has not been discussed. However, it is clear that the disruption to the railway system will cause inconvenience for many travellers.
At the moment, no information is provided about any efforts to repair the damaged railway infrastructure. As the situation develops, updates will likely be posted on the "Ukrzaliznytsia" website.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
