Overnight, the Zaporizhzhia electric locomotive repair plant came under a massive Russian attack.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported by Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways) on Telegram.
The company emphasized that this is a purely civilian facility specializing in the repair of passenger electric locomotives.
The fire has been extinguished by morning by State Emergency Service (SES) firefighters, and explosives experts are currently working at the site.
The plant’s on-duty personnel were in a shelter at the time of the attack, so there were no injuries or fatalities, Ukrzaliznytsia stated.
“Following the attack on the DVRZ railway plant in Kyiv, this is yet another example of the enemy deliberately targeting exclusively civilian railway infrastructure, attempting to obstruct the movement of our country,” the company stressed.
As Ukrinform previously reported, Russia launched at least 10 strikes at Zaporizhzhia. A 61-year-old man was killed. A total of 29 people were injured, including a 13-year-old boy. Twelve individuals remain hospitalized.
