Russian shelling paralyzed train movements: where and how long the delays are.

Situation with train movements in Ukraine

On Saturday, November 8, due to shelling by Russian troops in a number of Ukrainian regions, the movement of long-distance trains was significantly complicated. Damage to infrastructure caused power outages at several stations and the destruction of the contact network. As a result, only diesel locomotives are operating on the line, leading to additional delays. Passenger trains are experiencing significant delays, and suburban services in Poltava and Kharkiv regions may be delayed by 1.5 to 2 hours.

According to inkorr.com: Ukrzaliznytsia is making every effort to mitigate the negative consequences of the shelling and reduce train delays.

Massive attack on Ukraine

On the night of Saturday, Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine using drones and missiles. This resulted in serious damage to energy infrastructure and emergency power outages in some regions. In Dnipropetrovsk region, as a result of a drone attack, one woman was killed, ten people were injured, a house was destroyed, and cars were damaged. Rescuers had to evacuate 28 people and extinguish the fire.In connection with this situation, passengers are facing serious inconveniences during their travels, and rescue services continue to work on eliminating the consequences of the attack. This underscores the importance of ensuring the safety of national infrastructure in wartime and under constant threats.
