Quick Summary

Russian forces struck Chernihiv, Ukraine with a Banderol cruise missile, killing two teenage girls and damaging homes, businesses, and vehicles. The attack occurred while a US-brokered ceasefire in southern Ukraine was holding near Oleshky, a Russian-occupied city in the Kherson region where over 2,000 people are believed to remain amid scarce supplies of food, water, and medicine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized that successful civilian evacuation would be crucial for maintaining the truce.

Story summary

As of October 29, 2026, a Russian drone strike hit a crowded platform at Dnipro railway station in central Ukraine, killing at least 14 people, including several teenagers. The attack occurred as passengers were waiting to board trains. This incident highlights the ongoing risk faced by civilians using Ukraine's train network due to frequent harassment from Russian drones. President Volodymyr Zelensky renewed his call for stronger sanctions against Russia following the strike and criticized a recent deal between US President Donald Trump and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin that eased some sanctions on Moscow, allowing it to export diesel fuel globally. The attack comes amid a fragile ceasefire in the occupied city of Oleshky, which had held for three days with support from the United States.
