Ukraine war: Poland on alert after attack on train from Kiev to Warsaw
A Russian drone hits a passenger train in Ukraine near the Polish border. No one is injured - but Poland is concerned. Russia's escalation is a reality, warns Prime Minister Tusk.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has accused Russia of escalating the conflict after attacks on a train from Kyiv to Warsaw and the Ukraine-Poland border region. The Ukrainian railway reported that the locomotive of the passenger train was attacked at the Jahodyn border station on Sunday, but all passengers were evacuated safely.
Two Polish border crossings were temporarily evacuated due to the risk of air strikes, with over 580 people moved to safety. Tusk warned that Russia may launch further attacks on Poland and that Moscow is prepared to use jet-powered drones against the country. The Ukrainian government, including President Volodymyr Zelensky and Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha, condemned the attacks and called for tougher consequences for Moscow.
