The Russian transport company "Grand Service Express" has announced the temporary suspension of passenger train services in occupied Crimea following an overnight drone attack.
According to Censor.NET, Radio Liberty reports this, citing the Russian transport company.
According to the carrier, the attack damaged the locomotive of train No. 68 on the Moscow–Simferopol route.
"The train passengers were unharmed. The assistant driver was killed and the diesel locomotive driver was injured," the statement said.
Following the incident, all train passengers on the Crimean peninsula were evacuated.
Buses were deployed to transport people to Simferopol. They are being used to transport passengers from three trains that departed for occupied Crimea from Moscow and St Petersburg on 6 June.
