'Horrific' Russian drone strike kills 14 at Ukraine train station: Kyiv

On Thursday, a Russian drone attack at a railway station in Dnipro, Ukraine, claimed the lives of 14 people, as President Volodymyr Zelensky described it as a "horrific" assault that requires action from allies. This incident occurred amidst a fragile ceasefire in Oleshky, a city under Russian occupation since 2022, where residents have endured months of food, water, and medicine shortages.

Despite the ceasefire persisting for a third day, at least 20 people were killed and over 70 injured across the country in various strikes. Zelensky condemned the attack, insisting that sanctions against Russia remain in place until the ongoing war is halted. The attack targeted a platform where both a regular commuter train and a passenger train were stationed.

Among the victims was an 11-year-old boy, and another man had both legs amputated. French President Emmanuel Macron expressed outrage over the attack, stressing the necessity for more than just a local ceasefire. The EU council president Antonio Costa called for intensified pressure on Russia following the relentless strikes against civilians.

Zelensky also criticized a deal between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which led to the lifting of some sanctions, and questioned the Kremlin's intentions in releasing diesel onto global markets.
