Russian drones smashed into the Shostka train station in northeastern Ukraine earlier this month. They killed a 71-year-old man, injured at least eight people and left train cars buckled by fire and riddled with shrapnel holes. It was one of the latest examples of what Ukrainian officials say has been a surge since mid-summer in attacks on railways. Ukraine's rail network is a critical lifeline for commercial freight, passenger traffic and military logistics. The increasing attacks are part of Russia's broader targeting of infrastructure that now is being carried out with greater precision thanks to advances in long-range drone technology that include on-board video feed. Shostka train station was hit with a “double tap” strike — one explosive-laden drone followed immediately by another — to maximize damage and casualties, rail operator CEO Oleksandr Pertsovskyi told The Associated Press. Russian forces, he said, had stepped up those tactics over the past three months. The rail operator told Associated Press that nearly 270 strikes had occurred since August. A review of public announcements by rail and regional authorities regarding train system attacks since Jan.1 found nearly half occurred after mid-summer. Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in early 2022, railway officials publicly reported about roughly one attack on railways per week. But since mid-summer of this year, that rate more than doubled to about two or three per week, according to an AP review of public reports. However, what is publicly reported is only a small fraction of the overall number of attacks on all rail-related infrastructure, which could include damage to power lines, electrical substation, rail tracks, train stations and other structures. Ukraine’s rail network carries more than 63% of the country’s freight and 37% of passenger traffic, according to the State Statistics Service. It is also essential for moving grain and metal industry exports to seaports and borders, and for transporting military aid from allied nations. Trains continue to run despite repeated strikes, but freight volumes carried by rail from January through August 2025 dropped 11.7% year over year, while passenger traffic declined by 4.2%, according to the State Statistics Service. Ukrainian officials and military analysts warn that advances in Russian drone capabilities and the growing tempo of attacks pose a more serious threat. Experts who studied intercepted Russian drones believe that since the summer, Russian forces added an upgrade. Cameras and radio modems devices that send and receive data wirelessly have been fitted to various types of long-range strike drones. http://youtube.com/kanal13az/join - click here and support Kanal13 monthly for distributing more videos and independent journalism http://t.me/kanal13tv & https://bit.ly/37BVMqU https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 https://bit.ly/2Rs6MB3 #lastminutenewsfromukraine #kanal13ukraine https://bit.ly/2V19Fdy Click here and just subscribe to Kanal13 - https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/KANAL13AZ/join *ATTENTION: If you woul like to contact with US please, write to +49176 75077516 WhatsApp ▌▌►Website: http://kanal13.tv/ http://www.facebook.com/tvkanal13 https://twitter.com/Kanal13Az https://www.instagram.com/kanal13.az Click & Subscribe to the main youtube Channel © KANAL13 [ Azərbaycanın ilk peşəkar internet televiziyası ] The First Internet TV of Azerbaijan Tags: #Ukriane, #Russia, #Putin, #Putler, #Russian invasion of Ukraine, #Zelenski, #Kiev, #Kyiv, #Kadirov army, #Kadirov, #Kherson, #Bucha, #Kharkiv, #Ukrainian pilots, #vagners, #Russian tanks, #NATO, #drones, #Moscow, #Kreml, #war victims #Ukraina, News, The Washington Post, waPo Video, Washington Post Video, Washington Post YouTube, a:politics, aid, biden, putin, s:Politics, support, t:Other, Ukraine, war, fact check, news coverage, Donald Trump, news, wp video, forbes, nytimes, newspaper, media, journalism, Ilham Aliyev, Baku, Azerbaijan, Israel, Gaza, Palestine, Tel-Aviv, Garabag, Karabakh, football, ronaldo, messi, brian tyler cohen
