Kherson railway station shut down due to shelling; evacuation will continue.

Due to an enemy attack on the evacuation train from Kherson, the station had to be suspended. However, the evacuation of the population will continue via other logistical routes. This was stated by the head of the press office of the Kherson Regional Military Administration Oleksandr Tolokonnikov during a briefing, according to a correspondent of UNN.

Most likely, the station will not work for the time being. Trains to Kherson will stop in Mykolaiv, and people will have to take buses to get there

- said Oleksandr Tolokonnikov.

"Further evacuation of people will continue. We evacuated people not only by train, but also by bus. This is ongoing and constantly updated. Our buses that run to different regions and the buses of charitable organizations that are involved in this. So we will just continue to deliver people by other logistical means," he explained.
