Russian strike hits railway depot in Konotop, one Ukrainian rail worker killed, four injured

According to Ukrinform, this was reported on Facebook by Oleksandr Pertsovskyi, CEO of JSC Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways).

The enemy reportedly struck the town and the railway depot using, according to preliminary information, jet-powered Shahed-type drones. Due to the facility’s proximity to the border and the speed of the attack, not all workers managed to reach shelter in time. The circumstances are still being investigated.

“A painful loss – one of our colleagues was killed during this strike. Four colleagues were injured; our people are with them in the hospital, and all necessary assistance is being provided,” Pertsovskyi wrote.

He also emphasized that maintaining uninterrupted rail services in frontline communities today comes at a very high cost.

As previously reported, during a Russian attack on the city of Sumy on June 10, passenger train No. 143 Sumy–Rakhiv was damaged, causing delays in rail traffic.
