Russian forces have released video footage showing an FPV drone strike on a Ukrainian diesel locomotive in the Kherson region. The attack is part of a sustained Russian campaign to degrade Ukraine's railway infrastructure, which Moscow has been targeting for months. Russian military sources note they have been systematically attacking trains, locomotives, and repair facilities to disrupt Ukrainian logistics. This latest strike continues the pattern of targeting critical transportation assets behind Ukrainian lines.
