Strikes on the railway

Russians intensified strikes on the Ukrainian railway. Thus, on 17 September, Russia struck at substations of Ukrzaliznytsia. As a result, more than 20 trains were delayed, and some routes were cancelled.

Also on 25 September, in Mykolaiv and Kirovohrad regions, sections of railway were de-energized because of enemy shelling.

Days ago, the head of Ukrzaliznytsia said that Russia has a new tactic — enemy Shaheds now hunt locomotives.
