Transportation services to Kuban are disrupted due to failed power lines in the Voronezh region, causing delays in train schedules.
Train Delays Caused by UAV Incident in Southern Russia
Multiple train services in southern Russia have experienced delays due to debris from a drone incident at Liski station in the Voronezh region. The affected trains include those traveling to and from cities such as Moscow, Rostov, Adler, Novorossiysk, Vorkuta, Sukhumi, Krasnodar, Anapa, Barnaul, Makhachkala, Kislovodsk, and Kirov.
The press service of the federal passenger company has reported on the train delays, but no new social media platforms for following the news have been mentioned. The type of UAV involved in the incident remains unspecified, and the cause of the drone falling on the tracks at Liski station is not stated.
The delays vary depending on the damage and clearance time, with estimated durations ranging from about 3 hours 40 minutes to over 5-8 hours for passenger trains. In many instances, multiple long-distance and local trains were delayed simultaneously due to halted traffic along key rail hubs.
The incidents involve UAV crashes, unexploded ordnance removal, power disruptions, and infrastructure repairs at key junctions such as Frolovo, Sergeevka, and Liski stations. These disruptions are primarily due to drone attacks targeting Russia’s southern railway network, including Krasnodar and surrounding regions, aiming to disrupt rail traffic and military logistics.
Railway workers are making efforts to minimize passenger train delays, and train crew members are providing assistance to passengers. However, no new information about the timeline for resolving the train delays is provided.
In recent months, Krasnodar Territory has been hit by drone strikes on airfields and railway facilities, causing delays in long-distance and commuter trains. On August 22, a drone crash near Sergeevka station in the Rostov region disrupted rail operations, delaying 38 trains. At the Liski rail hub in Voronezh region, drone debris delayed at least 14 passenger trains on August 17.
The Southern Federal District, including Volgograd, Rostov, and Voronezh, has experienced multiple drone-related disruptions since July 2025. The causes of the attacks and the extent of the damage caused to the train tracks are not mentioned in the available information.
