A paramilitary guard was killed while on duty by an enemy drone strike at a Ukrzaliznytsia infrastructure facility, the company's CEO Oleksandr Pertsovskyi announced on Wednesday on Facebook, writes UNN.
We have bitter news - a loss in the railway family. A paramilitary guard was killed by an enemy UAV strike while on duty at one of our infrastructure facilities. There was an equipped and functioning shelter at the facility, where the employee had been, but the next strike caught him literally 2 steps from the shelter; he didn't manage to get back.
According to the head of Ukrzaliznytsia, all circumstances will be "studied in detail to prevent" similar incidents.
Overall, it was a night when we once again fought to ensure that trains to/from the East continued despite enemy attacks, and once again they are running, sometimes via alternative routes, with transfers, but they are running," Pertsovskyi stated.
