Overview
- A drone hit Dnipro’s main railway station on Thursday, striking a platform where a passenger convoy bound for Zaporizhzhia was stopped and causing at least 13 deaths.
- Authorities and outlets reported differing totals—most local officials said 13 dead while some reports put the toll at 14—and many more people were injured.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky and city officials condemned the strike as a deliberate attack on civilians and renewed calls for stronger sanctions against Russia.
- Medical teams treated victims at the scene and hospitals reported multiple patients with shrapnel wounds, with four people undergoing emergency surgery.
- The strike continues a long-running Russian pattern of using drones against Ukrainian rail and transport infrastructure, a practice that damages civilian mobility and increases pressure on international sanctions policy.
