More than 50 trains delayed after drone attack in Rostov region

The number of trains running behind schedule due to the drone attack on the Kamenolomny station in the Rostov region has exceeded 50. Two suburban train services have also been cancelled.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" reported, last night the roof of the Kamenolomny railway station in the Oktyabrsky district caught fire as a result of a drone attack. The incident led to a schedule disruption for passenger trains: 26 trains were delayed for periods ranging from 13 minutes to 4.5 hours. Traffic through the Kamenolomny station "is carried out at reduced speed," the North Caucasus Railway stated.

More than 50 trains are delayed "due to an incident at the Kamenolomni station," Russian Railways reports.

"Passengers on trains that are delayed en route will be provided with water, and for more than 4 hours, food. Ticket offices have been opened at 13 stations to serve passengers. Information is provided via SMS," the company's Telegram channel said.

Two commuter trains have been cancelled in the Rostov Region "for technical reasons" today, the North Caucasus Suburban Passenger Company reported.

According to the company, flights No. 6162 Kamenolomni - Rostov-on-Don departing at 05:26 Moscow time, and No. 6164 Zverevo - Rostov-on-Don departing at 05:01 Moscow time, Kommersant writes.

Recall that on the night of July 19, due to damage to the railway power grid on the Likhaya - Zamchalovo section in the Rostov region, train traffic was also stopped. It was resumed on the same day, but the incident led to delays in the movement of trains.

The next day, July 20, 132 passenger trains were delayed for periods ranging from half an hour to 15 hours, and the schedule of 10 trains was also changed.

In addition, as a result of the drone attack on July 19, a railway employee on duty at the Likhaya station was injured. She was taken to hospital and then transported to the Rostov clinic by Russian Railways.
