Passenger rail network targeted in Dnipro The civilian injuries in Rivne region coincide with an intensifying Russian campaign to disable Ukraine’s civilian transport corridors, particularly the national railway system operated by Ukrzaliznytsia.

Station personnel had initiated precautionary evacuation protocols ahead of the strikes, moving passengers and rail employees into subterranean bomb shelters, which prevented mass casualties.
