Quote from Ukrzaliznytsia: "The following passenger trains departed with a delay of around two and a half hours due to a series of large-scale strikes on the city of Dnipro:

  • 31 Zaporizhzhia – Przemysl
  • 119 Dnipro – Chelm

Passengers and crews of these trains and the commuter rail 6044 Pyatykhatky – Dnipro stayed in the station shelter throughout the entire attack and were not affected.

The blast wave blew out several windows in the carriages and at the station. In addition, parts of the region were left without electricity, so railway workers deployed reserve diesel locomotives. Services have now been fully restored."

Details: The building of Suspilne Dnipro and Ukrainian Radio Dnipro was also damaged in the attack.
