Russian Drones Strike Shostka Train Station, Dozens Injured and One Dead

The strike underscores a widening campaign that increasingly targets civilian infrastructure.

Overview

  • Ukrainian officials reported at least 30 people injured in the Shostka rail attack, with the Sumy prosecutor confirming the death of a 71-year-old man found in a damaged carriage.
  • Two passenger trains were hit in quick succession, including a local service and a Kyiv‑bound convoy, according to government statements.
  • Regional authorities said a drone hovered over the station after the first blast, hampering rescue efforts, before a second strike followed.
  • Ukraine’s air force reported 381 drones and 35 missiles launched by Russia on Friday and another 109 drones and three ballistic missiles early Saturday, while power facility strikes near Chernihiv left about 50,000 households without electricity.
  • Kyiv said it hit Russia’s Kirishi refinery during retaliatory operations, and Moscow’s defense ministry claimed to have destroyed more than 300 Ukrainian drones in a day, figures not independently verified.
