Russian forces attacked a passenger train bound for Kherson with several Shahed drones, regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin said on Sept. 5.
Two locomotives were damaged in the attack. A 55-year-old railway worker was injured and hospitalized in moderate condition.
According to Prokudin, the woman suffered an arm injury, a concussion, blast injuries and a closed head injury.
Around noon on Sept. 5, the Ukrainian Air Force warned of jet-powered drones heading toward Kherson.
On Sept. 2, Ukrainian Railways reported a drone strike near the Odesa-Dnipro passenger train No. 53/54. Passengers had been evacuated in advance, and no injuries were reported.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
