Russian forces conducted targeted strikes on Ukrainian railway infrastructure on June 25th, impacting locomotives in the Zaporizhzhia and Sumy regions. The attacks involved three precise hits on trains operated by Ukrzaliznytsia, Ukraine’s state railway company. Tragically, one railway worker, a locomotive driver’s assistant, was killed in the strikes. Ukrainian authorities have not yet released details regarding the extent of damage to the railway network or potential disruptions to service. These attacks represent a continued pattern of Russia targeting Ukraine’s critical infrastructure. The strikes occurred amidst ongoing conflict in eastern and southern Ukraine, with both sides reporting continued military activity. Further investigation is underway to assess the full impact of the attacks.
