After a relative lull, Russia returned to its previous tactics and resumed attacks on railway infrastructure. The enemy struck a new blow on April 13 in the Dnepropetrovsk region, as a result of which a freight locomotive was damaged.

This was reported by Ukrzaliznytsia.. It is noted that during the raid, the passengers of the passenger train and railway workers were evacuated.

“Thank you to the railway workers for their well-coordinated work, and to the passengers for their trust and strict adherence to instructions. We continue to monitor air threats on train routes,” Ukrzaliznytsya summarized..

The fact that the Russian Federation has chosen passenger trains and other railway infrastructure as a new target became especially noticeable in the spring, when the number of attacks on the railway increased significantly. According to the chairman of the board of Ukrzaliznytsia, Alexander Pertsovsky, during the entire period of the full-scale invasion, the railway was attacked by about 5 thousand. times, and 10% of all attacks were carried out within the last few months.

As a result, a significant number of locomotives, passenger cars and stations were damaged. What's worse is that the affected car becomes a trap: the metal quickly bends, a fire starts and chemicals are released. In order to save the lives of passengers and railway workers, it was decided to stop the train and evacuate.
