In this regard, Uzbekistan Temir Yullari reports that the fire affected only the shunting locomotive, which performs auxiliary operations for transporting the train. The Afrosiyob train did not suffer a fire and is starting its flight today.
The claims about the presence of passengers inside the burning carriage are unreliable. The incident occurred outside of a regular flight, and at that time the train was not carrying passengers.
Specialists promptly arrived at the scene and successfully extinguished the fire.
All flights of the Afrosiyob high-speed electric train will be operated without schedule changes.
Experts also promise to provide detailed information about the fire after clarifying all the circumstances of the incident.
