Ukraine, Poland Say Russia Hit Warsaw-Bound Passenger Train
The strike hit a passenger train locomotive bound for Warsaw, shortly after reports of senior Western officials at the station.
Russia executed two drone strikes on a Ukrainian passenger train near the Polish border, causing no injuries as the crew had been warned in advance. The train, carrying 206 passengers, was en route from Warsaw. Additionally, Ukrainian railway operator Ukrzaliznytsia reported that senior Western figures, including former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and former CIA Director David Petraeus, were present at the station moments before the attack.
Johnson called for stronger action against Russian President Vladimir Putin, demanding the provision of air defenses and the unfreezing of frozen funds. Poland's Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski called the attacks an "escalation" and urged for increased support for Ukraine, warning that Polish territory could be targeted. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the locomotive and a gas station were deliberately targeted, and that Ukraine's efforts to fight against Russian aggression were ongoing.
