"Scheduled movement of passenger trains in Crimea has been suspended," the report states.
This reportedly occurred after a Moscow-Simferopol train locomotive was allegedly damaged by a UAV attack overnight.
"Grand Service Express" stated that trains heading from occupied Crimea to Russia will begin their journey from Kerch.
"Due to the fact that train traffic on the Crimean railway was halted following the overnight UAV attack, trains heading from Crimea to the mainland will begin their journey from Kerch. Passengers of all trains located on the territory of the Crimean peninsula have been evacuated," the statement said, noting that people were transported by bus.
"Passengers will be sent to Kerch by bus. Buses are being filled and dispatched as they arrive and in order of priority according to the train schedule," the report noted.
