The Bryansk-Orlovsky railway station, located in the administrative center of the Bryansk region, resumed passenger traffic in stages after the drone wreckage event. This development came from the Moscow Railways press service and was reported by TASS. Officials watched the situation closely to gauge how the wreckage affected rail operations and passenger safety, aiming to keep essential services running with minimal disruption.
Officials clarified that train and electric train movements continued without interruption. However, the station waiting room was temporarily closed to support investigative work and protect the integrity of the scene. This precaution gave investigators room to collect evidence and conduct necessary procedures while ensuring traveler safety remained a priority.
In its briefing, the Moscow Railways press service explained that Bryansk-Orlovsky station was partially accessible to passengers. Travelers could reach the platforms through the intercity ticket office, while other areas stayed restricted to support ongoing inquiries and security checks. The goal remained to balance passenger convenience with the needs of a careful investigation following the incident.
Earlier on the morning of September 7, regional authorities provided updates on the air defense system in the area. The Bryansk region governor stated that air defense measures neutralized the threat from the Ukrainian drone attack on Russian facilities, though some damage occurred. The official noted that the defense response prevented further harm while acknowledging the impact on local infrastructure.
According to the regional head, debris from the falling drone damaged several vehicles and breached portions of the Bryansk station square. He also confirmed that parts of the Bryansk-Orlovsky station building, including some glass sections, sustained damage from the debris. Cleanup and repair work would be coordinated with relevant services to restore full functionality and safety at the site. [Source: Moscow Railways press service via TASS]
