Russian Missile Assault Intensifies: Ukrainian Railway Hub Targeted

A recent Russian drone and missile attack targeted a railway hub near Kyiv, damaging infrastructure but causing no casualties. Ukraine's state railway company reported the incident during heightened attacks on Ukraine's energy and infrastructure sectors. Ukrainian forces downed many drones and missiles amidst widespread blackouts.

In a significant escalation, a railway hub near Kyiv faced substantial damage following a Russian drone and missile attack, the Ukrainian state railway company Ukrzaliznytsia reported on Saturday. Infrastructure was hit, yet no casualties were reported, amid escalating tensions and attacks across key sectors in Ukraine.

The assault, part of Russia's increased focus on Ukraine's energy and infrastructure, reflects ongoing disregard for peace efforts as critical civilian sites continue to be targeted. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha emphasized the urgency of international support in fortifying Ukraine's defenses against the onslaught.

Ukrainian forces responded by intercepting and downing numerous drones and missiles. Despite these efforts, the attack managed to center on various power and heat-generating facilities, resulting in a significant disruption to services. Emergency services have initiated repair efforts as outages persist across major regions.
