Russian forces are attacking in the east of Ukraine and deep in the interior. They hit a passenger train, family houses and energy infrastructure, the number of dead and injured is increasing.
Russian attacks in Ukraine claimed the lives of at least six more people. A passenger train was also the target of one of the attacks, the Ukrainian authorities announced on Monday, quoted by the AFP agency, writes TASR.
Three people were killed in the city of Kramatorsk in the east of Ukraine, where Russian troops on the battlefields have recently been making progress. Another victim was reported on Monday from the Dnepropetrovsk region in central Ukraine, where the body of a 55-year-old man was found in the ruins of a destroyed house. Another victim is a woman born in 1937, who lost her life in the Chernihiv region in the north of Ukraine, near the border with Russia.
Attack on the train
One civilian was killed and seven others were injured in a drone attack on a moving train, authorities reported. “The locomotive crew stopped the train immediately (after the attack). The passengers were evacuated and given first aid,” Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksii Kuleba said.
Ukrainian Railways CEO Oleksandr Percovskyi said in an interview with AFP in February that the increase in attacks on rail infrastructure in Ukraine was a manifestation of “efforts to effectively cut off certain regions from the rest of Ukraine.”
Increase in drone attacks
In its morning briefing, the Ukrainian army reported on Monday that it had neutralized 84 enemy drones by 08:00 local time and recorded the impact of 10 attack drones in four locations. The wreckage of the destroyed drones fell in two other locations.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Energy reported on attacks on energy facilities in several regions, which caused a forced shutdown of electricity supplies in the Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Sumy regions.
The balance sheet of the Russian invasion
The Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022 and triggered the bloodiest conflict in Europe since the Second World War: it has already claimed hundreds of thousands of lives among civilians and soldiers on both sides, added AFP.
