A Russian drone struck a passenger train traveling from Kyiv to Warsaw near the Ukrainian-Polish border on Sunday, Poland and Ukraine said, with none of its 206 passengers injured. Ukrainian authorities said the strike occurred two kilometers from Poland, a member of NATO, and damaged the train locomotive.
Train delayed and border crossing suspended
Polish railway company PKP Intercity said the journey was delayed by more than six hours, adding that the train would continue to Warsaw after border inspection procedures were completed. Zelenskyy said Russian attacks had hit railway and energy facilities and buildings in Ukrainian regions, including areas in the west of the country.
He added that teams from the relevant services were operating in the Volyn region near the border with Poland, where the train locomotive caught fire and a fuel station was damaged in a drone strike. Ukrainian Railways said it was keeping its control center and staff on the highest alert, noting that train routes had been diverted in the central Dnipro region amid what it described as an ongoing attack on the railway network.
Strikes follow diplomatic moves
The strikes came days after U.S. envoys visited Moscow and Kyiv as part of an effort to revive Washington-led talks to end the war.
Russia's Defense Ministry, meanwhile, said its forces had targeted drone production workshops and component facilities in Odesa, as well as a warehouse it said contained missiles, artillery weapons and ammunition belonging to Ukrainian forces.
