Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration head Oleksandr Hanzha said Russian forces struck Dnipro’s railway station again Oct. 30, injuring a woman, as the rail operator warned that continued attacks could significantly delay services.
Ukrainian Railways (Ukrzaliznytsia) said an evacuation alert was issued before the new strikes and that passengers and railway workers had taken shelter. It made underground areas available to passengers needing to remain at the station longer, and said repeated attacks on the station and locomotives could disrupt train schedules.
The new strikes followed an Oct. 29 attack on a platform where train No. 866 was standing on its route from Dnipro to Zaporizhzhia. Ukrzaliznytsia identified the weapon used in that earlier attack as a jet-powered drone.
Hanzha said the Oct. 29 strike killed 15 people and injured 14. The death toll rose from 14 after an injured man died, revising EconoTimes’ earlier report on the Dnipro station attack.
As of the morning of Oct. 30, 11 people injured in the earlier strike remained hospitalized. Six were in serious condition, including an 11-year-old boy, Hanzha said.
