The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation damaged the railway in the Sumy region: due to shelling in the region, the movement of trains was suspended

Share: As a result of Russian shelling, railway infrastructure was damaged in Sumy region, which caused the suspension of several trains and delays in communication. Two employees of the locomotive brigade were injured and are under medical supervision. According to "Ukrzaliznytsia", a difficult situation is observed in the Sumy direction due to repeated enemy attacks.

As a result of shelling, infrastructure elements and rolling stock were damaged, and in some areas there was a complete lack of electricity supply. This significantly complicated the movement of trains and forced the company to temporarily adjust the schedule. Trains No. 144 (Rakhiv — Sumy) and No. 787 (Tereshchenska — Kyiv) have been stopped until the situation stabilizes. The resumption of the service will be reported in addition. Also, suburban flight No.

6888 (Sumy — Lebedynska) is currently not departing — the exact time of its restoration will depend on the security situation in the region. The route of suburban train No. 6012 has also been changed: now it will run in the direction of Sumy — Trostyanets-Smorodyne instead of Vorozhba — Trostyanets-Smorodyne.

To ensure communication between settlements, combined traffic - buses and trains - has been introduced, however, some flights may be delayed due to lack of voltage in the contact network. In addition, difficulties are also observed in Dnipropetrovsk region and Kharkiv region, where due to the increased level of danger and disruption of power supply, route changes and traffic delays of up to 1. 5 hours are possible. On the night of October 23, a Russian drone attacked the railway station in Sumy.

As a result of the impact, two railway workers were injured: a 35-year-old man was hospitalized with injuries, a 28-year-old man was treated on the spot. According to Serhiy Kryvosheyenko, the head of the Sumy City Military Administration, the attack happened around three o'clock in the morning. Rescuers of the State Emergency Service examined the affected area and provided the necessary assistance, experts are currently assessing the extent of the damage.

We will remind that on the same night the enemy attacked the capital. In particular, as a result of the shelling, the Kyiv Great Choral Synagogue in the Podilsky district of the capital was damaged. The blast wave partially tore off the roof, and also broke out the windows and damaged the furniture and decorations inside.
