Warning for passengers
An adviser to the Minister of Defence, codenamed «Flash», has warned of the serious danger of passenger cars being hit by Shahed kamikaze drones. He stressed that if a drone hits a carriage with people, it could lead to mass casualties.
«Flash urged passengers to move away from trains at least 100 metres during evacuation. This will help minimise risks during air raids and drone attacks.
