Russia attacked Ukraine’s port infrastructure

On the night of October 20, the enemy once again attacked the logistics infrastructure of Ukraine, in particular port facilities and the railway.

This was reported by the Minister for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine Oleksiy Kuleba.

According to him, the Russian military attacked the port infrastructure – individual facilities and premises were damaged. The fires were quickly localized.

“The port workers were in shelters, so fortunately, there were no casualties. Currently, a number of ports are not accepting trains, they are dispersed throughout the network, they will leave when ready,” the minister said.

Also, in the Chernihiv region, a UZ traction substation was hit. At night, railway power engineers took up the elimination of the destruction, however, the enemy directed a UAV to the site of the restoration work. Thanks to the monitoring system, the workers were taken to a safe place in time – there were no casualties. Train traffic is ensured, reserve diesel locomotives are involved.

The Minister noted that Russia is purposefully attacking Ukrainian transport arteries, but even under fire, the system is working. Restoration work is ongoing.

As previously reported by USM, the Ukrainian maritime corridor has transported 150 million tons of cargo.
