Two young flight attendants from Kaliningrad were hit by a train in Moscow.
The incident happened near Nagatinskaya station of the Paveletsky direction. The two women — 20-year-old Agata and 19-year-old Diana — decided to go to the airport in the morning.
The women first walked along the railway tracks. An electric commuter train hit them as they were trying to climb onto the high platform of the station. No other details about the incident were provided.
It was later reported that the women worked as flight attendants for Ural Airlines. They were not wearing airline uniforms at the time of the incident, airline press secretary Vera Gasnikova said.
"The airline officially confirms that they were our employees. We offer our sincere condolences to their families and friends," she said.
Gasnikova called the incident an unthinkable tragedy. According to her, the women were at the Nagatinskaya station in Moscow on personal business after hours.
