Story summary
On September 13, a Russian drone struck a passenger train's locomotive near Yahodyn, about 2km from the Ukraine-Poland border. The incident occurred shortly before another train carrying foreign dignitaries, including former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European officials, passed through safely. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called it an escalation by Russian President Vladimir Putin, emphasizing that such attacks threaten NATO countries. No casualties were reported from the attack on the Warsaw-bound train, which had 208 people aboard; they were evacuated with no injuries. Meanwhile, in Russia, Ukrainian drones hit Nizhnekamsk in Tatarstan, killing two civilians and injuring twelve others. The drone strikes highlight escalating tensions as both sides intensify their military campaigns, targeting critical infrastructure such as oil refineries and border crossings. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Moscow of deliberately striking the train to prevent further Western support for his country.
