Russian forces again struck the railway station in Dnipro on October 30, a day after it was hit in an attack that caused numerous casualties. A fire broke out at the station and a woman was injured.
This was reported by the head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional military administration, Oleksandr Hanzha.
According to him, Russian troops repeatedly attacked a railway infrastructure facility. The strikes caused a fire. One woman was wounded, and medics began transporting the victim to hospital.
The nature of her injuries and the severity of her condition were not specified at the time of the report. No information about other casualties from the latest strike has been reported yet.
This is not the first attack on the station on October 30. Earlier, the chairman of the board of Ukrzaliznytsia, Oleksandr Pertsovskyi, said Russian forces had launched repeated strikes on the railway station overnight into Friday. The situation was complicated by large-scale power outages in the region.
Due to the shelling and power supply problems, train delays occurred. Railway workers continue to assist passengers waiting for departure and organize onward travel given the circumstances.
Ukrzaliznytsia stressed that passenger safety remains a priority. People are urged not to ignore air raid alerts and to move to shelters when danger arises.
Passengers who cannot use purchased tickets due to the consequences of the attacks are entitled to a full refund. The company publishes up-to-date information on train delays through its official channels.
Recall, on October 29, Russian troops attacked the Dnipro railway station with a jet-powered drone. The strike hit a passenger platform where a train from Dnipro to Zaporizhzhia was standing.
According to updated data as of the morning of October 30, the death toll from that attack reached 15 people. Eleven wounded remained in hospitals, six of them in serious condition, including a child.
After the tragedy, Ukrzaliznytsia announced a review of current security protocols. The company intends to analyze staff actions and passenger evacuation procedures in the event of a threat of strikes by high-speed drones.
On October 30, a day of mourning was declared in Dnipro for the victims of Russian shelling. Despite this, attacks on the city and its transport infrastructure continued.
