Russian Drone Hits Kyiv-Warsaw Train Near Poland Border After Diplomatic Train Passes
A Russian drone struck the locomotive of a Kyiv-Warsaw passenger train near Ukraine's border with Poland, about two kilometers from the crossing, on September 13. The train, carrying over 200 passengers, was evacuated in advance following a warning, and no casualties were reported. The strike occurred shortly after a diplomatic train carrying former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt, and other European officials had passed through the area. Ukrainian and Polish officials condemned the attack as an escalation near NATO territory, with Ukraine accusing Russia of deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure.
