Overview
- A jet-powered Russian drone hit a platform at Dnipro railway station on Thursday, striking a train and killing at least 13 people with multiple others wounded, Ukrainian authorities and the state rail operator said.
- Ukraine's air force said it shot down several jet-powered drones during the daytime attack but that one evaded defenses and reached the station, illustrating gaps in interception despite recent improvements.
- The strike came as a localized ceasefire around occupied Oleshky held for a third day, allowing demining and an aid convoy to prepare entry, even as heavy drone and missile exchanges continued elsewhere in Ukraine.
- Russian officials reported mass Ukrainian drone salvos over the Moscow region that disrupted flights and were widely intercepted, highlighting reciprocal high-volume drone operations on both sides.
- Ukrainian leaders urged partners for more surface-to-air missiles, faster interceptor drones, and tougher sanctions on Moscow, warning that continued attacks on transport and civilian sites will deepen humanitarian and economic harm.
