ISW's 4 March assessment identified Russian forces pushing Shahed drones into the 0–20 km frontline strip normally dominated by tactical FPVs, citing their heavier payloads as the reason.
A Russian drone hit a train in Mykolaiv, while a second drone narrowly missed a passenger locomotive on the Dnipro–Kovel route — part of a campaign averaging six railway strikes per day since the start of March.
Russian forces launched 183 drones two ballistic, hitting railway infrastructure and energy systems. A female station duty officer in Shostka district was injured walking to her shift.
