Former CIA director David Petraeus was present at a Ukrainian train station when a Russian drone attacked a passenger train on Sunday. This occurred shortly after a diplomatic train had passed through, carrying former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and other foreign dignitaries. Ukraine framed the event as a demonstration of the heightened threat posed by Russian President Vladimir Putin to Europe.
The rail system operator stated it was "quite likely" that the attack was a deliberate targeted strike. The diplomatic train with Johnson, European security officials, and other former leaders had departed from Yahodyn station, located about two kilometers (1.2 miles) from the Polish border, due to the persistent "constant threat of Russian strikes."
The station was where Petraeus was also traveling on a separate train at the time of the attack. CNN reached out to Petraeus for a response. Russian drones targeted a gas station in the same town, as well. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha condemned the attacks, stating they were "Putin's terror 'knocking' directly on the doors of the EU and NATO."
