Russia hits Ukrainian train shortly after Boris Johnson and top European officials leave station
A Russian drone has hit a train near the Ukraine-Poland border shortly after former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and top European security officials had passed through.
A Russian drone strike hit a train near the Ukraine-Poland border shortly after former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and high-ranking European officials departed the station. No casualties were reported, as all passengers had been evacuated. The incident occurred at the Yahodyn train station, approximately 2km from the Polish border.
Ukrainian authorities stated that the target of the drone could have been a diplomatic train, which had left the station early due to potential Russian strikes. Johnson, along with other European officials including Jonathan Powell, had previously passed through the same route on a different train during their return journey from a conference in Kyiv.
Ukraine's state railway company noted that the train had been ordered to evacuate passengers just 15 minutes before the strike. Former CIA chief David Petraeus was reportedly on board another train at the station at the time of the drone attack. Both Ukrainian and Polish authorities confirmed that the Russian drone struck 2km from the Polish border.
