A Ukrzaliznytsia employee was killed in Konotop when a depot was struck

A Russian strike on a railway depot in Konotop, Sumy Oblast, has resulted in fatalities and injuries among Ukrzaliznytsia employees. According to the company’s CEO, Oleksandr Pertsovskyi, one female employee was killed in the attack, and four others were injured.

"The strikes were likely rocket-propelled, close to the border—and not everyone had time to take cover despite the warning. We are analyzing this in detail, second by second," Pertsovskyi wrote on Facebook on Thursday.

According to him, maintaining transportation in frontline communities today comes at an extraordinary cost.

Oleg Grigorov, head of the regional military administration, previously reported that the enemy has been attacking the Konotop community since last night. As a result, civilian infrastructure has been hit. A fire broke out at the site of the Russian UAV strike.

He later updated the post with information that the number of people hospitalized as a result of the attack on Konotop had risen to four – "two women and two men are in the hospital; the wounded have significant burns over their bodies; their condition ranges from moderate to severe. All are receiving the necessary medical care."

Deputy Prime Minister for the Reconstruction of Ukraine and Minister of Community and Territorial Development of Ukraine Oleksiy Kuleba also reported on Telegram: “The locomotive depot in Konotop, Sumy Oblast, was hit by an enemy strike. Unfortunately, a female railway worker was killed… Four other workers were injured—they are receiving the necessary medical care."
