ISTANBUL

Train service on Bosnia's Sarajevo-Capljina route, which passes through the tourist hub of Mostar, resumed Monday after a four-month suspension due to flood damage.

Bosnia and Herzegovina Railways announced that repairs on the railway line connecting the capital Sarajevo to the country’s south have been completed.

Service was halted after devastating floods last October which hit five cities and left 29 people dead. The disaster severely damaged rail infrastructure, disrupting transport across the region.

Mostar, known for its scenic landscapes and river views, was been cut off from rail service during the repair work.

Train operations along the route are now fully restored, the railway authority confirmed.
