Russian drone hits train two km from Polish border, rail operator says
A Russian drone struck a passenger train's locomotive approximately two kilometres from Poland's border in Ukraine's Volyn region on Sunday, according to Ukraine's state-owned rail operator, Ukrzaliznytsia. No casualties were reported from the incident. This is the second consecutive day of attacks on railways by Russian forces.
The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russia launched over 450 drones, including jet-propelled and missile drones, overnight, with at least three people killed and 36 injured. Polish border guards temporarily restricted traffic at border crossings due to safety concerns, but normal operations resumed. Ukraine's Foreign Minister criticized Russia's actions as "Putin’s terror" and demanded stronger sanctions.
Poland responded by deploying military aircraft to secure its airspace and issued an alert to residents in the affected regions.
