Train Delays in Volgograd Region Due to Ukrainian Drone Attacks
Train services in the Volgograd region are experiencing delays following an incident involving debris from Ukrainian drones attacking targets near railway infrastructure. The suburban train No. 6212 from Kotelnikovo to Volgograd-1, as well as two long-distance passenger trains, No. 531 Kirov – Adler, and No. 532 Adler – Kirov, have been affected by the disruption [1][2][3].
The Kotelnikovo - Kanalnaya section in the Volgograd region has seen a temporary suspension of train traffic due to the fall of debris from the Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) [4]. This incident has resulted in train delays of up to four to six hours for the affected trains [5].
The debris from the Ukrainian drones also led to fires in nearby forested and grass areas of the Volgograd region, the Surovikinsky district, Rostov region, and interruption of gas supply to about 65 private households in the Kotelnikovsky district [2]. Emergency and firefighting teams are actively working to manage the damage, and there have been no reported casualties.
Recent reports confirm that train traffic has been restored along the Kotelnikovo-Kanalnaya railway section, but delays persist intermittently due to ongoing security and repair operations [1][5]. Additional explosions have been reported at the Kotelnikovo railway station, contributing to operational challenges [4].
Compensation will be provided to the families of RZD employees who were killed in the drone attack, according to the news outlet "Live Kuban" [6]. It's important to note that this article aims to provide factual information and does not include opinions or unrelated details.
In summary, the cause of the train delays is the fall of drone debris, and the maximum waiting time for passengers may exceed four hours due to the disruption. Emergency services are currently working at the scene, and compensation will be provided to the affected parties. The specific trains affected include long-distance passenger trains and a suburban train, with the specific long-distance passenger trains affected being No. 532 Adler – Kirov and No. 531 Kirov – Adler, and the specific suburban train being No. 6212 from Kotelnikovo to Volgograd-1.
