According to the Russian-controlled DAN website, a fuel station for diesel trains came under fire, three tanks, the railway track and technical buildings were damaged. Russia's state-controlled TASS reported that the station was hit by a HIMARS MRLS.
The fire was reported to be extinguished by morning.
