No less than five railway stations in central and western Ukraine have been hit by missile strikes, Ukrainian sources, including the head of the country’s railways, Olexandr Kamishin, said.

“Russian forces are systematically destroying the infrastructure of our railways,’’ he wrote on his Telegram channel.

Though there were no reports of injury, he said trains were being forced to alter routes and schedules for security reasons.

Reports of missile attacks also emerged from Lviv in the west and Vinnytsia, southwest of Ukraine.
