A critical infrastructure facility was damaged in a Russian drone attack on Ukraine’s Cherkasy Oblast shortly after midnight, Regional Governor Ihor Taburets told public broadcaster Suspilne on Sep. 17.
Dozens of Russian drones targeted the oblast overnight.
“There are consequences for critical infrastructure,” he said.
Earlier that morning, the national rail operator Ukrzaliznytsia reported that Russia’s overnight combined drone and missile attack was focused on Ukraine’s critical railway infrastructure, causing delays across the country and prompting the deployment of reserve locomotives.
As of 7 a.m. EET, at least 45 trains were delayed in the Odessa and Dnipro directions.
Emergency efforts to restore operations are ongoing.
