Russia launched a drone strike on civilian railway infrastructure in the Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk regions.

According to Ukrinform, this was reported on Telegram by Deputy Prime Minister for the Restoration of Ukraine and Minister for Communities and Territories Development Oleksii Kuleba.

In the Odesa region, buildings on the depot's grounds were damaged in the attack. A large-scale fire broke out on the territory, and a tank car caught fire. All relevant emergency services worked to mitigate the consequences; the fire was extinguished.

Railway workers were in shelters and were not injured.

The enemy is also constantly striking the railway infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovsk region. There were no casualties. The damage did not affect train traffic.

“Russia is systematically striking our logistics. These are not military targets; this is an attempt to paralyze the region's economy,” Kuleba said.
