Russian Missile-and-Drone Barrage Disrupts Ukrainian Rail, Delays Dozens of Trains

Repairs continue with trains detouring under reserve diesel locomotives through a damaged section.

Overview

  • Ukrzaliznytsia said more than 30 trains were delayed, including 11 with multi‑hour holdups, after overnight strikes damaged rail infrastructure and power substations.
  • Routes were altered or shortened, with train 116/115 ChernivtsiZaporizhzhia operating only to Dnipro and passengers transferring to train 5 to complete the journey.
  • The operator reported trains are passing the affected area using reserve diesel locomotives and warned disruptions will persist into tomorrow as power restoration continues.
  • Passenger support included meals from World Central Kitchen for six heavily delayed Dnipro‑direction trains and buses in Chełm for the DniproChełm service to continue to Lublin and Warsaw.
  • Ukraine’s Air Forces said the attack involved an Iskander‑M/KN‑23 ballistic missile, an S‑300 missile and 172 drones, more than 100 identified as Shaheds.
