Russian drone attack at Dnipro station kills 13 passengers on platform
A Russian drone struck a platform at Dnipro railway station in central Ukraine on Thursday, killing at least 13 passengers and wounding five. President Volodymyr Zelensky called for the United States and Europe to respond to what he described as an escalation, as the attack hit a key transport network.
Ukrainian Railways said the jet-powered drone hit the platform where train No. 866, travelling from Dnipro to Zaporizhzhia, was standing. The rail operator had announced an elevated threat level, but many people remained on the platform. Train services have faced repeated drone threats since Russia’s 2022 invasion; in September, passengers were evacuated from more than 5,800 services.

- A Russian drone strike at Dnipro station killed 13 and wounded five.
