Multiple rail routes to and from Simferopol were suspended Monday after a Ukrainian drone hit a Moscow-to-Simferopol passenger train locomotive, killing an assistant driver and wounding the lead driver.
No passengers were hurt, but authorities began moving stranded travelers by bus; local media said the Kerch bridge is now the only remaining rail link to mainland Russia.
310 Ukrainian drones were intercepted across Russia and annexed Crimea between Sunday night and Monday morning, according to Russia’s Defense Ministry.
In Russia’s Kursk region, a separate strike killed two tractor drivers working in a field about 80 kilometers from the border with Ukraine’s Sumy region.
