A passenger train in the Odesa region was struck by a targeted rocket attack. The locomotive crew was killed instantly; passengers and the train crew were evacuated.
This was reported by Oleksandr Pertsovskyi, chairman of the board of JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia.”
The strike occurred just as the train was pulling into the station to safely evacuate passengers. The locomotive crew did not have enough time to come to a complete stop and evacuate on their own.
340 passengers and the train crew were evacuated to safety. None of them were injured. Buses have now been arranged to transport the passengers to Odesa.
