Russians hit railway station in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast

Russian forces targeted a railway station in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, causing significant damage but no injuries among railway workers.

On February 11, Russian military forces launched an attack on a railway station located in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, resulting in damage to locomotives, wagons, and various aspects of railway infrastructure. According to Oleksii Kuleba, Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister for Recovery and Minister for Development of Communities and Territories, the damage also included a significant fire, which was quickly contained by emergency services.

In addition to the Dnipropetrovsk strike, Kuleba noted that another railway depot in Konotop was attacked that morning, which affected the rolling stock at that location. This pattern of attacks indicates a continued focus from Russian forces on targeting railway junctions, particularly those in the Sumy Oblast, which is crucial for sustaining the operations of the Ukrainian railway network during the ongoing conflict.

The attacks have raised concerns about the vulnerability of transport infrastructures and the safety of railway workers, who, fortunately, reported no injuries in the recent strikes. Emergency and repair crews are currently engaged at the impacted sites, attempting to restore services and assess the damage. This incident underscores the ongoing challenges faced by Ukraine in maintaining its vital transport links amid the war.
