In an ongoing escalation of hostilities, Russia has targeted railway infrastructure in Ukraine, striking a station in the Dnipropetrovsk region and a depot in Konotop, Sumy region. The assaults damaged locomotives, rail cars, and key infrastructure components, according to Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister, Oleksiy Kuleba.

These attacks are part of a series of deliberate strikes on civilian logistics and essential infrastructure, Kuleba noted in a statement on the Telegram messaging app. He emphasized that these operations contribute to a broader campaign to disrupt Ukraine's transport capabilities.
