Overview
- Ukrainian and international reports say a Russian jet-powered drone hit a platform at Dnipro train station on Thursday, killing at least 13 people and wounding many others.
- Ukrzaliznytsia said the strike struck a train bound for Zaporizhzhia while passengers were on the platform and that images showed bodies and rescuers at the scene.
- Officials said four Russian drones were involved and that Ukrainian forces shot down three of them, while other simultaneous strikes damaged regional energy infrastructure and cut power for about 350,000 people.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack and urged the United States and Europe to impose firmer measures on Moscow after recent Western moves to ease some sanctions.
- The strike underscores a wider pattern of intensified drone attacks on Ukraine’s rail and energy networks this year, forcing thousands of train evacuations and stretching air-defence systems ahead of a difficult winter for civilians and services.
