Railway infrastructure increasingly targeted by Russia

Stations and the railway infrastructure have become a key target for Russian forces in Ukraine, Qazet.az reports.

Rail lines are crucial for both bringing in supplies and evacuating civilians to bordering countries, such as Poland.

Monday morning saw five stations in central and western Ukraine under fire, including one around the town of Krasne, near Lviv, and two in the Rivne region, according to a post on Telegram from the head of Rivne Regional Military Administration, Vitalii Koval.

"The enemy launched two missile strikes on the railway infrastructure," wrote Koval.

"The damage is being established, there are no casualties. We strongly recommend that you be in shelters during air alerts," he said.

Head of the Lviv regional military administration Maxim Kozitsky said Russian troops fired missles from the air causing an explosion at the traction substation of the Krasnoye railway station.

The Lviv governor said there were no casualties from the strike there, but elsewhere people are reported to be dead or injured in attacks in the Vinnytsia region.
