Series of arson attacks on relay cabinets continues in Ukraine
Another incident took place in Voznesensk, Mykolaiv region. The Ukrainian law enforcement authorities have opened a criminal case under the "diversion" article. The penalty for such offences ranges from 15 years to life imprisonment.
This is the fifth case of arson of relay cabinets in recent times. Previously there had been two railway fires in the Cherkasy region and two in the Odessa region. One of the fires was extinguished by a railway worker. The woman extinguished the fire, thanks to which the trains did not stop running.
The Ukrainian edition of Telegraf hints at Russian involvement in railway sabotage, saying that quickly extinguished fires 'foil the enemy's plans'.
