Russia attacked three rail locomotives, killing one driver, and hit two petrol stations across Ukraine on Thursday, officials said.

One strike hit a locomotive in the northeast Sumy region, and in Zaporizhzhia region in the south.

A second strike in Zaporizhzhia killed one of the drivers who was in the rear cab.

According to sources, Russia has attacked more than 100 Ukrainian locomotives so far this year.

Earlier this month, Ukrainian attacks on Russian fuel logistics caused widespread disruptions to fuel supplies in many Russian regions, and in Russian-occupied Crimea.
