A baby was born on the Ivano-Frankivsk–Cherkasy train on the morning of 16 April. Due to the birth, the train had to make an unscheduled stop in Fastiv, where paramedics were waiting on the platform.

This was reported by Ukrzaliznytsia.

The baby was born a few minutes before the train arrived in Fastiv. First aid was provided by the train crew and passengers.

Ukrzaliznytsia says that the condition of the mother and child at the time of disembarkation was satisfactory.

“Such stops are not uncommon these days due to the threat of drones, but this time the reason was much more pleasant. […] There are many omens for such an occasion, but we simply wish the baby to grow up healthy and return to our children’s carriages as soon as possible — we’ll welcome him back as one of our own,” wrote Ukrzaliznytsia.

At the end of March, Ukrzaliznytsia tightened safety rules on the tracks. As a result, trains began stopping following a warning of an increased risk of a Russian strike, and passengers are evacuated from the train.
