Today, Russian troops attacked western Ukraine with kamikaze drones. New evacuation rules are delaying trains across the country. Passengers are forced to wait for hours outside their carriages under the threat of further attacks.
Large-scale drone attack
Since early morning, Russian troops have been attacking the western regions of Ukraine with Shahed kamikaze drones. Railway junctions and infrastructure have been hit. As a result, passenger trains are delayed across the country. People have been standing near trains for over 5 hours, waiting for permission to board.
New evacuation rules and security situation
Due to the new evacuation rules, passengers are forced to stay near the cars and hide. People are standing between the cars, which creates additional risks. Passengers report a lack of shelters and poor waiting conditions. Hostile UAVs fly over the railway stations while people are waiting.
Fires in Bukovyna
Large-scale fires have been reported in the western regions, particularly in Bukovyna. They were caused by drone strikes on infrastructure facilities. Information about the victims and injured is being clarified. Rescuers are working at the sites of the fires.
Context.
Russia regularly uses kamikaze drones to attack Ukrainian territory. Since the beginning of the year, the intensity of attacks on the western regions has increased. New evacuation rules have been introduced to minimise passenger casualties during air raids. However, passengers complain about long waits and lack of security.
The Russian attack continues. Stay in shelters until the alarm is dismissed.
