Quote: "But most importantly, people are safe. The monitoring centre was operational, thanks to which the conductor was able to move to a mobile shelter in time. The locomotive crew was also safe. Early reports that there are no casualties."
Details: Meanwhile, a Russian drone struck between railway tracks near a diesel locomotive in Poltava Oblast. No casualties were recorded. A carriage was damaged and a fire broke out as a result of the explosion.
Another strike targeted a station in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. An electric locomotive standing on the track was damaged during the UAV attack.
"The train had been stopped earlier due to a drone threat. Therefore staff had been warned in advance and were in shelters. There are no casualties," Kuleba said.
Background: Russia struck railway infrastructure in Kryvyi Rih on 23 April, damaging one of the city's railway stations.
