Russia destroyed the Intercity train on the night of August 28
As Oleksandr Pertsovsky, the chairman of the board of Ukrzaliznytsia, said, the strike was targeted. It was directed exclusively at civilian transport. The train was supposed to leave for the Kyiv-Kharkiv route today.
Now — we are not canceling flights, passenger cars will be on the route, including those that have just been received from the factory. The key: lives were saved, all the staff on duty in the affected areas were taken to shelter. The impact on the rolling stock was minimized by the quick actions of the employees.
The pictures show the completely burnt-out interior of the car, charred seats, damaged walls and cladding, and mangled metal structures. The explosion effectively turned the car into ruins, unusable.
Railway workers quickly restored the infrastructure of the damaged junction in Kozyatyn. Therefore, all trains heading to Vinnytsia, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Lviv, and Odessa will go through Kozyatyn without detouring the previously damaged section.
In one section of the region, trains will run under backup locomotives, as infrastructure restoration is still ongoing.
