Russian Drone Hits Kyiv-Warsaw Train Near Poland Border, No Casualties Reported

Russian Drone Hits Kyiv-Warsaw Train Near Poland Border, No Casualties ReportedPreviousNext

A Russian drone struck the locomotive of a Kyiv-to-Warsaw passenger train near the Ukraine-Poland border, about two kilometers from Poland, on September 13. The train, carrying around 206 passengers, was evacuated in advance due to warnings, resulting in no casualties. The attack coincided with the presence of senior Western figures, including former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and former CIA Director David Petraeus, who had recently passed through the area. Ukrainian and Polish officials condemned the strike as an escalation by Russia near NATO territory, with calls for increased sanctions and support for Ukraine.
