Dnipro Station Hit Again as Russian Strikes Spark Fire

On the evening of Friday, October 30, Russian forces struck Dnipro's railway station once again, igniting a fire and injuring a woman, according to regional authorities. Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, confirmed the incident, stating that the woman was being taken to a hospital. Ukrzaliznytsia, the railway operator, corroborated the attack, revealing that several strikes had been carried out on the station during the evening.

Evacuations had been announced in advance, and passengers and staff had sought refuge in shelters. No casualties among these groups were reported initially, but the wounded woman's injury was later disclosed. The weapon used in the attack has not been confirmed, although rumors of a jet-powered Shahed drone have not been substantiated by official accounts.

Ukrzaliznytsia set up shelters in the station's underground areas to accommodate passengers during the alert period. Those with non-essential travel were advised to postpone their journeys, with tickets eligible for a full refund to reschedule. The evening strikes followed a series of attacks on the station overnight. Earlier on Friday, the Dnipro-Lviv service No. 127/128 had been delayed by over 16 hours, as well as services to Chernivtsi and Ivano-Frankivsk by roughly 14 hours.

In Dnipro, an attack on October 30 damaged at least five apartment buildings and a school. Mayor Borys Filatov reported that municipal services were assisting residents in evaluating the damage. This attack followed a Russian jet-powered drone strike on a railway platform the previous day, resulting in the death of 15 people, including five railway employees.

In response to the latest strike, Ukrzaliznytsia initiated a review of its safety protocols, acknowledging that warnings were issued and an evacuation ordered before the drone impact, but people were present near the train at the time of the attack.
