A massive overnight ballistic missile attack on Ukraine's capital and Kyiv Oblast damaged railway infrastructure and forced Ukrzaliznytsia to urgently reorganize the movement of suburban and regional trains. As of August 20, the changes affected services in Kyiv, Chernihiv and Sumy oblasts and also caused delays in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. The company warned that further schedule adjustments may be possible throughout the day due to the ongoing air threat. ### Route changes in the Kyiv direction Today, August 20, suburban trains No. 6903 and No. 6905 Nezhin – Bobryk are running on a revised route instead of the usual Nezhin – Kyiv direction, as are No. 6902 and No. 6906 Bobryk – Nezhin instead of Kyiv – Nezhin. Similarly, regional services No. 893 Konotop – Bobryk (instead of Konotop – Kyiv) and No. 894 Bobryk – Nezhin (instead of Kyiv – Nezhin) have been adjusted. As a result, Bobryk station has become the terminus for a number of trains rather than the capital's central stations. ### Canceled services and delays in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast On this day, trains No. 6909 and No. 6911 Nezhin – Kyiv-Volynskyi, as well as No. 6910 Kyiv-Volynskyi – Nezhin, will be unable to complete their scheduled runs. In parallel, for safety reasons, two suburban trains were delayed in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast: service No. 6501 Piatykhatky – Kryvyi Rih departed Piatykhatky station 1 hour and 8 minutes late, while train No. 6008 Piatykhatky – Dnipro – was delayed by 43 minutes. Ukrzaliznytsia emphasizes that movement on certain sections will resume only after the air threat has been lifted. ### Safety rules for passengers Railway workers reminded passengers that, in the event of heightened danger, a train may be stopped, in which case passengers must follow evacuation procedures: immediately head to the nearest shelter or move to a safe distance from the railway infrastructure. The company urges passengers to allow for possible additional delays and route changes throughout the day and to monitor the carrier's latest announcements. ### Context: aftermath of the overnight strike As previously reported, the massive ballistic missile strike on the capital damaged a children's hospital and residential buildings. Kyiv Oblast was also hit: the occupiers struck Brovary, where a man was killed and the community was left without electricity. Power outages were also recorded in several districts of Kyiv — energy workers are investigating the causes. These infrastructure damages are what prompted the rerouting of a number of railway services. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Ukrzaliznytsia changed train routes due to overnight attack on Kyiv](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/ukrzaliznitsya-zminila-marshruti-poyizdiv-1787195893.html) - Подтверждает изменение маршрутов пригородных и региональных поездов после ночной атаки на Киев. - [Ukrzaliznytsia changed train routes after overnight attack on Kyiv: where delays are observed](https://zn.ua/ECONOMICS/ukrzaliznytsja-izmenila-marshruty-poezdov-posle-nochnoj-ataki-na-kiev-hde-nabljudajutsja-zaderzhki.html) - Указывает на задержки и корректировки маршрутов в Киевском направлении и на Днепропетровщине. - [Ukrzaliznytsia changed train routes due to damage after Russian attack](https://korrespondent.net/business/companies/4904527-ukrzalyznytsia-yzmenyla-marshruty-poezdov-yz-za-povrezhdenyi-posle-ataky-rf) - Связывает изменение маршрутов с повреждениями инфраструктуры после атаки. - [After overnight Russian attack on Kyiv, Ukrzaliznytsia changed the routes of a number of trains](https://delo.ua/ru/news/posle-nocnoi-ataki-rf-na-kiev-ukrzaliznycya-izmenila-marsruty-ryada-poezdov-471045/) - Подтверждает факт перенаправления ряда поездов после ночной атаки. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: Which trains will run on a revised route via Bobryk on August 20? **A:** On the revised route are running suburban trains No. 6903 and No. 6905 Nezhin – Bobryk, No. 6902 and No. 6906 Bobryk – Nezhin, as well as regional trains No. 893 Konotop – Bobryk and No. 894 Bobryk – Nezhin. ### Q: Which services are canceled on this day? **A:** Trains No. 6909 and No. 6911 Nezhin – Kyiv-Volynskyi, as well as No. 6910 Kyiv-Volynskyi – Nezhin, will be unable to complete their runs. ### Q: What delays have been recorded in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast? **A:** Train No. 6501 Piatykhatky – Kryvyi Rih departed 1 hour and 8 minutes late, while No. 6008 Piatykhatky – Dnipro – was delayed by 43 minutes. ### Q: What should passengers do if a train is stopped due to a threat? **A:** Passengers must follow evacuation procedures: immediately head to the nearest shelter or move to a safe distance from the railway infrastructure.
