Oleg Kryuchkov, adviser to the head of Crimea, announced this on his Telegram channel.
“As a result of the scattering of ammunition, a section of the railway in the Dzhankoy area was damaged.
Restoration work is underway.
We will inform you about the resumption of traffic,” he wrote.
The head of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said earlier that passenger trains to Crimea would stop near Feodosia with a transfer of people to buses.
This decision was made after consultation with the leadership of the Crimean Railway.
As the Russian Ministry of Defense clarified, a fire at a fenced ammunition storage area with detonation occurred on the morning of August 16 in the Maiskoye area in Crimea.
