Russian troops attacked a railway station in Synelnykove, which caused train traffic to be temporarily suspended, according to the Chairman of the Board of Ukrzaliznytsia, Oleksandr Pertsovskyi, and Ukrzaliznytsia.

As a result of the night strike on the railway junction in Dnipropetrovsk region, part of the trains has been canceled or will operate on altered routes.

All station employees were evacuated in advance, so there are no casualties among the staff.

Due to the incident, a number of routes have been temporarily canceled, including:

  • 6107 Synelnykove-1 – Dnipro-Holovnyi;

Strikes in the Dnipropetrovsk region

The enemy carried out a missile strike on June 27, and several explosions were heard in the city. The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported a ballistic threat to Dnipro and the region.

A fire broke out at the site of the impact. Initially, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, Serhii Lysak, reported three dead as a result of the enemy attack; later, the number of victims increased to four.

Earlier, during the day on June 24, Russian troops attacked the Dnipropetrovsk region with missiles. In particular, other settlements in the region, including the city of Samar, came under fire.
