Russian forces kill 11, injure 64 across Ukraine over past day, hit diesel locomotive close to Polish border
Alongside the attack near the Polish border, Russian forces launched 200 Shahed-type attack drones, including jet-powered versions, on Sept. 15, the Air Force said.
On September 15, Russian forces targeted a diesel locomotive in Volyn Oblast, igniting a fire on the train, according to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service. The emergency crews managed to extinguish the blaze, and fortunately, no one was injured. Reports have emerged that air raid sirens sounded across Lutsk, Kamin-Kashyrskyi, Kovel, and Volodymyr overnight, as the area was reportedly under the presence of jet-powered drones.
Earlier, on September 13, Russian forces launched a drone strike targeting a Kyiv–Warsaw passenger train near the Yahodyn border checkpoint, approximately two kilometers away from the Polish frontier. Thanks to prompt evacuations, there were no casualties among the civilians. This incident caused an emergency evacuation of high-level European delegates departing Ukraine, including Boris Johnson, security advisers from European governments, German Bundestag members, diplomats, and academics.
The diplomatic train had left Yahodyn station just before the locomotive was hit. Russian Railways stated that they could not rule out the deliberate targeting of the train carrying international diplomats, which had departed early due to incoming UAV warnings.
