Following Russia's nighttime strike on infrastructure in the eastern regions, the routes of several trains have been changed. Delays are up to several hours. Passengers are advised to check the status of their flights.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported by Ukrzaliznytsia JSC.
"Last night, the enemy attacked the Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kharkiv regions. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the railway infrastructure was damaged," the statement said.
Attack on a railway station
In Kamyanske, Russian forces attacked the Zaporizhzhia-Kamyanske railway station, according to Oleksandr Pertsovskyi, head of the board of Ukrzaliznytsia.
Traffic to Dnipro and back is running on a backup route with delays.
All necessary work is being carried out on site.
Which trains are delayed?
A number of trains heading east are running on altered routes and, accordingly, are delayed. These are the following trains:
- No. 102 Kherson – Gusarivka;
- No. 104 Lviv – Gusarivka;
- No. 712 Kyiv – Gusarivka;
- No. 92 Odesa – Gusarivka.
Train No. 733 Dnipro-Kyiv is also running with an auxiliary locomotive, with an estimated delay of less than an hour.
Due to damage on the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia routes, the following trains are delayed by up to 5 hours:
- No. 31/32 Zaporizhzhia-Przemyśl;
- No. 119/120 Dnipro-Chełm, which also transports Pavlohrad-Kyiv trailer cars;
- No. 37/38 Zaporizhia-Kyiv.
Some suburban trains in the Sumy region, as well as from the Chernihiv region to Kyiv, will also be running late. Please take this into account when planning your trips.

The most significant attacks on Ukrzaliznytsia
On 8 April 2022, Russia launched a missile strike on the Kramatorsk railway station at a time when thousands of people were evacuating on the platform. As a result of the attack, 59 people were killed, including children. Hundreds of people were injured.
This attack was one of the most tragic strikes on railway infrastructure at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. It was a targeted strike on a passenger facility with a large number of civilians.
In 2022-2023, Russian invaders carried out a series of large-scale strikes with cruise missiles and strike drones on critical infrastructure in Ukraine, including railway transport facilities. The campaign caused major disruptions to the power grid, widespread power outages, and significant train delays, sharply increasing the workload on Ukrzaliznytsia's repair services.
As of 2024, extensive damage to the railway network has been recorded: approximately 5,500 buildings and approximately 4,000 infrastructure facilities, hundreds of kilometres of tracks, dozens of stations and junctions have been damaged or destroyed. This is the result of systematic attacks throughout the war, rather than a single strike.
During a night attack on 3-4 July 2025, parts of Kyiv's railway infrastructure were damaged. This temporarily restricted traffic and caused train delays in Kyiv, demonstrating the vulnerability of even large domestic transport hubs during heavy shelling.
Drone strikes on Shostka on 4 October 2025 hit railway facilities, killing and injuring dozens of passengers. This incident demonstrates the high risk to even small border stations in the event of active use of strike UAVs by the Russian army.
