A Russian drone struck a Lozova-Kharkiv electric train at the Lymanivka station on Aug. 23, killing one passenger and injuring four others who remained near the railway after an evacuation. Minister of Infrastructure Mykola Kalashnyk reported the incident, noting a second drone targeted the site during rescue operations.
A Russian drone targeted an electric passenger train in Ukraine's Kharkiv region on August 23, resulting in one fatality and four injuries. The attack occurred at the Lymanivka station while the train was parked at the platform. Passengers and crew members had been evacuated ahead of the strike, but some individuals remained near the railway infrastructure, leading to the fatal consequences.
Mykola Kalashnyk, Minister of Restoration, Infrastructure, and Transport, reported the incident on Telegram, stressing the need for passengers to adhere to evacuation instructions and avoid approaching rolling stock due to the ongoing "double-tap" attacks. Russian forces have targeted Ukraine's railway infrastructure five times on National Flag Day alone, with a total of 1,534 attacks since the beginning of the year.
The Kharkiv region incident follows another drone strike in the Odesa region, which targeted a locomotive on a passenger train. Over 52 Ukrzaliznytsia employees have been killed and 317 injured during the war.
