Due to a massive attack on the railway infrastructure on the night of September 17, passenger trains in the Odesa and Dnipro directions, as well as some international ones, are delayed and are running on changed routes. Ukrzaliznytsia reports this on Telegram.

"As a result of the enemy's complex attack on substations, we have delays in passenger trains in the Odesa and Dnipro directions. Some of the flights are running on changed routes, 20 reserve diesel locomotives have already been deployed. Our dispatchers stopped a number of trains at a safe distance from the affected area," the message says.
