Russia strikes Dnipropetrovsk Oblast railway infrastructure with drones, engineer wounded
Russian forces struck railway infrastructure in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk Oblast with drones this morning, wounding a train engineer who was heading to a shelter when debris hit him, Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration Oleksii Kuleba said.
A monitoring team had warned of the incoming attack in advance. Despite the warning, one engineer was struck by shrapnel while making his way to a shelter. He is receiving medical care and his life is not in danger, Kuleba said on Facebook.
The drone strikes damaged locomotives and rolling stock. Train service in the region is being restored, the official added.
The attack was part of a broader overnight barrage in which Russia launched more than 200 drones across Ukraine. In addition to Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, strikes were recorded in Kyiv, Kyiv Oblast, and the Kherson, Kharkiv, Zhytomyr, and Chernihiv oblasts.
More about the three-day truce
Ukraine and Russia, mediated by the United States, have agreed on a three-day ceasefire — May 9, 10, and 11. In addition to a cessation of hostilities, it also provides for the exchange of 1,000 prisoners from each country.
On May 10, Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that although there have been no massive attacks on Ukraine since the beginning of the three-day ceasefire, the Russians are not observing a regime of silence on the battlefield and in front-line localities.
The president noted that during these days Ukraine refrained from long-range actions against Russia, but promised mirror actions if the Russian Federation returned to massive attacks on Ukrainian cities.
