Kyiv (Monitoring Desk): Russia targeted a passenger train with a drone attack near the border between Ukraine and Poland, but no casualties were reported.
According to Ukrainian railway authorities, the Russian drone targeted the train just two kilometers from the Polish border. The train was traveling on a railway route used by foreign diplomatic delegations traveling from Kyiv to Europe.
According to officials, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt and other European figures had departed for Europe by diplomatic train on the same railway line just minutes before the attack.
The train that came under attack had headed toward the border crossing a few minutes after their train. When the drone approached, the train was evacuated, ensuring the safety of all passengers.
The Ukrainian railway operator expressed concern that the Russian drone’s possible target was the diplomatic train, which had departed earlier than usual under a suddenly changed schedule due to the continuing threat of Russian attacks.
