"And last night, the house of a Ukrzaliznytsia employee, a locomotive depot driver, came under enemy bombardment in Pokrovsk. This is the city from which railway workers are currently organising the evacuation of civilians and are forced to work under constant enemy attacks," Ukrzaliznytsia reported.
