On the night of September 3, Russian troops carried out a massive shelling of the railway infrastructure in the Sumy and Dnipropetrovsk regions, but Ukrzaliznytsia managed to maintain the uninterrupted movement of trains. Despite targeted attacks on infrastructure and rolling stock, not a single passenger flight was canceled, which underlines the resilience of Ukrainian railway workers even in the face of hostilities.
As the press service of "Ukrzaliznytsia" reported, the enemy attacked important railway facilities in the Sumy and Dnipropetrovsk regions, trying to disrupt the work of critical infrastructure. Both infrastructure and rolling stock were hit, but fortunately, there were no casualties.
At the same time, the railway workers of Pokrovsk, a city that is under constant shelling, continue to perform their duties, organizing the evacuation of the population. However, this time the enemy also struck the personal residences of Ukrzaliznytsia employees. In Pokrovsk, the house of the driver of the locomotive depot, where his wife, who is an employee of the primary trade union, also lived, came under enemy artillery fire. As a result of the shelling, they were injured and were urgently taken to the hospital.
Despite the difficult circumstances, not a single passenger flight was canceled. This shows the high level of organization and dedication of the employees of Ukrzaliznytsia, who continue to ensure the movement of trains even in the most difficult conditions. "We continue the movement," the press service noted, emphasizing that the Ukrainian railway remains a vital element of the country's infrastructure, even in war conditions.
The attack on the railway infrastructure was part of a larger missile attack carried out by the enemy on the night of September 3. Kharkiv, Mykolaiv and Chernihiv were also hit, where numerous explosions were recorded.
