César Montes unharmed after drone attack on train he was traveling on
The Mexican and his Lokomotiv teammates were returning to Moscow when their train was hit in Voronezh. The team has since returned to its training base.
Mexican defender César "Cachorro" Montes and the Lokomotiv Moscow delegation were unharmed after the train they were traveling on was damaged during a drone attack in Russia. The incident occurred in the Voronezh region overnight from Oct. 25 to 26.
The Russian side was returning to the capital after visiting Rostov. It was traveling on the Anapa–Moscow passenger train, one of whose cars was damaged at Somovo station.
Russia's railway operator reported five passengers injured and damage to infrastructure. The injured were passengers unconnected to the team's delegation.
Reports on the incident indicate that the players' car suffered no direct damage. They also say the club's doctors assisted injured passengers and that the delegation continued its journey to Moscow by bus.
Lokomotiv later confirmed that all its members had returned to base and begun preparing for their cup and league fixtures. The club also thanked the Russian Premier League and Fakel Voronezh for their support.
Montes had been on the bench for the 2-0 loss to Rostov in Matchday 12. The club explained that he had a minor injury sustained in training before the match; that issue predated the train incident.
