Train Service Suspended After Drone Attack in Crimea

Train service number 168/167 operating between Simferopol and Moscow was cancelled on June 18 following a drone attack on Crimea, according to Grand Service Express, the railway operator. The incident occurred during the night of June 17-18, when air defence systems shot down drones over the region. Rail traffic on the Crimean railway line was halted as a result of the attack. Passengers were to be rebooked onto alternative trains. For those continuing to Crimea, the final leg of their journey from Vladislavovka station would be completed by bus rather than by rail. The operator promised to provide further details about the service disruption and alternative travel arrangements at a later time.
