Russian Railway Troops Conduct Tests of Drone Defense Systems and Practice River Bridge Repair Techniques.

Railway troops from the Moscow Military District tested their defenses during a large-scale exercise, simulating how to shoot down drones and river catamarans. Colonel Oleg Bragin, head of the district's railway forces management unit, confirmed these details to TASS. He noted that while uncrewed catamarans have not yet seen actual combat on rivers, readiness remains essential against any threat.

The drills took place in Yaroslavl. Soldiers practiced building temporary bridges across water obstacles and moving trains over them. They also worked on repairing railway infrastructure after simulated enemy strikes. Fire safety received special attention as troops used a fire-fighting catamaran to contain and extinguish blazes.

Earlier this week, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that its forces struck logistics hubs and ports in Ukraine. Targets included Stellar Jet and Fire Point hubs, plus Eridon and Raven Ukraine facilities in Kyiv Oblast. The Washington Post reports that these relentless air alarms have paralyzed Kyiv. Ukrainian authorities are now planning to shorten curfew times in the capital and rethink alert protocols. More on this comes from Gazeta.ru.

Missiles also hit Novorossiysk previously, where drones and catamarans launched attacks.
