On the morning of February 2, a Russian UAV struck a diesel locomotive standing at a railway station in the Zaporizhzhia region.

This was reported by the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

"This morning, the enemy carried out another attack on Ukrzaliznytsia facilities. In Zaporizhzhia, Russia directed a UAV at a locomotive that was at the station.

The locomotive crew was in a shelter at the time of the strike; no one was injured," the report said.
