"There was another strike on a diesel locomotive that was carrying out shunting operations so that trains could pass one another. The crew had been warned in advance, and no one was injured," he said.
According to Pertsovskyi, the attack occurred on a similar section of the railway to where a passenger train locomotive had been struck, killing the driver and his assistant.
"The enemy’s usual tactic is as follows: they find a corridor somewhere through which these jet-powered Shaheds can penetrate. These Shaheds are apparently controlled using a video camera, meaning that the pilot on the other side can clearly see where the drone is striking. The aim was not merely to destroy the locomotive; the drone struck the cab directly," the Ukrzaliznytsia CEO added.
Background
- On the morning of 13 August, Russian occupiers struck a passenger train in Odesa region with a jet-powered Shahed, killing two railway workers.
