Details: "Last night, the enemy attacked Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv oblasts. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but railway infrastructure was damaged," Ukrzaliznytsia reported.

Several eastbound trains are running on altered routes and therefore with delays. These trains are:

• No. 102 Kherson – Husarivka
• No. 104 Lviv – Husarivka
• No. 712 Kyiv – Husarivka
• No. 92 Odesa – Husarivka

Train No. 733 Dnipro-Kyiv is being assisted by an auxiliary locomotive and is expected to be delayed by less than one hour.

Due to damage on the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia lines, the following trains are being delayed by up to five hours:

• No. 31/32 Zaporizhzhia – Przemyśl
• No. 119/120 Dnipro – Chełm (also transporting attached cars from Pavlohrad – Kyiv)
• No. 37/38 Zaporizhzhia – Kyiv

"Some suburban trains in Sumy Oblast, as well as those travelling from Chernihiv Oblast to Kyiv, will also run late – please take this into account when planning your journeys," Ukrzaliznytsia added.

Background:

• On the night of 5-6 November, Russia launched 135 drones against Ukraine. Ukrainian air defence forces destroyed 108 of them, while 27 UAVs hit their targets.
• Eight people are reported to have been injured and several fires have broken out in the city of Kamianske in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast following a Russian drone strike.
