Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways) JSC is deploying over 800 modular shelters across the country; yesterday, one such shelter saved the life of a female conductor in the Kharkiv region.

According to Ukrinform, Ukrzaliznytsia announced this on Telegram.

The transport company noted that, due to increased attacks on the railway, a network of in-house-manufactured mobile shelters will be deployed nationwide to protect employees.

“The shelters will be installed in the most dangerous locations, including near critical infrastructure that ensures train operations, as well as at stations where there are no permanent shelters,” Ukrzaliznytsia emphasized.

“Such shelters allow people to quickly take cover during an alarm and protect against debris during shelling. And this is not just theory, yesterday, such a shelter in the Kharkiv region saved the life of a female conductor who evacuated to it in time after receiving a danger alert. An enemy drone destroyed the train car,” the agency emphasized.
