A Russian drone strike has hit railway infrastructure in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, damaging a diesel locomotive at a station.

The locomotive crew was inside a shelter at the time of the attack and no casualties were reported, The Caspian Post reports via Ukrainian media.

Officials stressed that the railway network plays a vital role in Ukraine, supporting passenger transport, the delivery of humanitarian aid, and the movement of essential economic cargo. Ukrainian authorities accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilian logistics infrastructure.

Despite the damage, Ukrainian Railways said train operations are continuing. Repair teams have been dispatched to swiftly restore damaged facilities, while passenger and freight services remain operational under heightened security measures.

At the same time, train traffic on the Dnipro-Zaporizhzhia route has been temporarily restricted following repeated attacks and reports of Russian drones spotted near rail lines. Ukrainian officials said at least seven strikes on railway facilities have been recorded in recent days.

Additional drone attacks were reported in Konotop, where railway tracks, station grounds, repair facilities, and administrative buildings sustained damage. Authorities say the strikes are part of a broader effort to disrupt civilian transport, logistics, and essential services, with rail infrastructure remaining a key target throughout the war.
