Russian strikes in Kyiv region injure three and hit major railway hub
Russian missiles and drones struck the Kyiv region overnight, injuring at least three civilians and severely damaging vital railway infrastructure in the city of Fastiv. The assault, part of Moscow’s ongoing campaign against Ukraine’s transport and energy networks, came amid renewed diplomatic efforts toward a potential ceasefire.
Railway infrastructure heavily damaged
The overnight barrage targeted Fastiv, a key railway junction southwest of Kyiv, where several missiles struck repair facilities and train depots. Ukrainian railway company Ukrzaliznytsia reported extensive damage to its depot and carriages, forcing the cancellation of suburban routes and temporary rerouting of passenger lines. Emergency workers battled fires and cleared debris through the night.
Fastiv is a strategic transportation node linking Kyiv with Koziatyn, Myronivka, and Zhytomyr, serving both freight and passenger operations. The city hosts nine major railway enterprises, making it one of Ukraine’s most important rail hubs connecting the capital to the country’s western and southern regions.
Injuries reported near the capital
Authorities in Kyiv Oblast confirmed that three civilians were wounded in the strikes. A 42-year-old man sustained leg injuries in Fastiv, while two women in Vyshhorod, north of the capital, suffered shrapnel and facial wounds. One of them was hospitalized for further treatment, while the other received medical care at the scene.
Pattern of infrastructure attacks
The attack follows a growing Russian focus on disrupting Ukraine’s logistical and energy networks as winter sets in. According to UN monitors, civilian casualties in Ukraine increased by 27 percent during the first ten months of 2025 compared with the same period in 2024, largely due to intensified strikes on public infrastructure.
The latest wave of attacks coincides with diplomatic activity involving U.S. envoys. President Donald Trump’s special representatives, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow earlier this week for extended talks. Ukrainian officials are expected to hold follow-up meetings with U.S. negotiators to discuss frameworks for halting hostilities.
On November 29, similar missile and drone strikes on the Kyiv region claimed two lives and temporarily cut power to parts of the city. Ukraine’s Air Force said Russia continues to target civilian and strategic infrastructure despite ongoing diplomatic efforts, keeping the capital under near-constant threat.
