Quote: "Yet another night of heavy strikes on railway facilities. The enemy is trying to destroy everything it can reach: locomotive and carriage depots, repair plants, stations and hubs, not to mention the rolling stock."

Details: A massive wave of strikes on the railway swept across Kharkiv, Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytskyi and Ternopil oblasts.

The Russians attacked the railway power grid, but power engineers repaired it promptly. There were no casualties, although material damage is significant.

Quote: "The capital's transport hub had been brought to a standstill due to a ballistic missile threat. Trains that had been held up for safety reasons are now departing one after the other."

Background: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said the Russian strikes have caused significant damage to 26 energy sites.
