Reuters: Russia Intensifies Attacks on Ukraine's Railway Infrastructure

Since the summer, Russia has initiated a series of intensified and systematic attacks on Ukraine's railway infrastructure, according to a Reuters report. Oleksandr Pertsovskyi, CEO of the state railway company, noted that Russia is employing new tactics, including the use of long-range drones to target critical infrastructure nodes like electricity substations and rail hubs. Pertsovskyi stated that these attacks on civilian infrastructure are primarily aimed at disrupting the Ukrainian economy and sowing panic among passengers. The strikes, coinciding with Russia's increased drone production, have escalated to targeting individual locomotives. While the railway network is resilient and recovers after each assault, these attacks consistently cause disruptions and incur substantial financial burdens.
