Russian drone strikes commuter train in Mykolaiv Oblast
Russian forces attacked a commuter train in Mykolaiv Oblast with a drone on Aug. 25, Ukrainian Railways said.
On August 25, Russian forces launched a drone attack on a commuter train in Mykolaiv Oblast, according to Ukrainian Railways. The evacuation of passengers and crew was successful due to an advanced warning from the railway's monitoring center, which constantly tracks aerial threats around the clock. Emergency services and railway workers are currently present at the incident site as they tend to the aftermath of the attack.
Ukrainian Railways has advised passengers to remain vigilant, heeding announcements and following the instructions of railway staff while using the trains.
This attack occurred just two days after Russian forces had twice targeted a passenger train in Odesa Oblast, which was carrying approximately 600 individuals, including 15 children. After the initial strikes on August 23, Russian forces staged another attack while rescuers and emergency services were already on the scene. Fortunately, all passengers and railway employees had been evacuated prior to the second strike, resulting in no casualties.
