Female train conductor killed in attack on Dnipro-Zaporizhia regional train
JSC Ukrzaliznytsia (UZ) reported the death of a female conductor of the Dnipro-Zaporizhzhia regional train, which was attacked by the enemy on Tuesday, September 8.
On Tuesday, September 8, the female conductor of the Dnipro-Zaporizhzhia regional train was killed when the enemy attacked the train. Ukrzaliznytsia (UZ) conveyed their deepest sympathies to the conductor's family and the entire railway family, standing in solidarity with them during this tragic time. The victim had returned to the train following an evacuation announcement and an elevated danger warning, ultimately resulting in her demise.
UZ stressed the importance of adhering to evacuation protocols, as every second matters during such situations. During the day, Russian forces launched two Shahed strikes on the Kyiv-Sumy train near Sumy, followed by another strike on a suburban diesel train in the Sumy region. Thanks to early threat detection, passengers were evacuated; however, some passengers were injured by shrapnel.
Train crew members provided immediate first aid, and medics arrived at the scene. Board Chairman Oleksandr Pertsovskyi of Ukrzaliznytsia warned passengers through posters and announcements to seek shelter immediately during safety stops and evacuations, or maintain a safe distance of over 200 meters if shelter is not available. Failure to do so puts one's life at grave risk.
