Details: Kuleba said that the Russian strikes have damaged stationary carriages, freight carriages, locomotives, tracks, power lines and administrative and production buildings. No casualties were reported.

The state-run railway operator Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways) has suspended train movements between Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia due to safety concerns.

"Today, all trains scheduled to depart from Zaporizhzhia are departing from Dnipro. Passengers of evening trains are being transported by bus transfers provided by Zaporizhzhia Oblast Military Administration," Kuleba said.

Background: A monitoring team and dispatchers from Ukrzaliznytsia have restricted train traffic between the cities of Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia due to attacks on railway infrastructure and the detection of Russian UAVs near the routes.
