A Russian strike on a railway depot in the town of Konotop, Sumy region, has killed an employee of Ukraine’s national railway company and injured four others.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported on Facebook by Oleksandr Pertsovskyi, CEO of JSC Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways).
The enemy reportedly struck the town and the railway depot using, according to preliminary information, jet-powered Shahed-type drones. Due to the facility’s proximity to the border and the speed of the attack, not all workers managed to reach shelter in time. The circumstances are still being investigated.
“A painful loss – one of our colleagues was killed during this strike. Four colleagues were injured; our people are with them in the hospital, and all necessary assistance is being provided,” Pertsovskyi wrote.
He also emphasized that maintaining uninterrupted rail services in frontline communities today comes at a very high cost.
