The wreckage from a downed Russian cruise missile led to the explosion, stated Ukraine’s Interior Ministry Adviser Anton Herashchenko.
Meanwhile, in the wake of the Ukraine conflict, last month, VR Group halted services between Helsinki, Finland, and St Petersburg, Russia.
It paused the Allegro train service to St Petersburg until further notice.

Several players have suspended services to Russia recently in light of the country’s military attack on Ukraine.
