Russia carried out a "massive" drone attack on railway infrastructure in Ukraine's northern Sumy region, Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Kuleba said on Thursday.


The railway's energy infrastructure was also targeted, Kuleba said on the Telegram messaging app, posting photos of damaged railway cars.


"The enemy is trying to stop train traffic," Kuleba said, describing the attack as "another act of terrorism" against Ukrainian logistics.
