  "summary": "A Russian drone struck a passenger train near Ukraine's border with Poland on Sunday. The train, which was hit about 2 kilometres from the Polish border, was carrying no passengers at the time as they had been evacuated 15 minutes prior to the strike.\n\nFormer UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and several top European security officials had travelled on a separate train along the same route minutes earlier, after attending the Yalta European Strategy conference in Kyiv. The diplomatic train had departed earlier than scheduled due to adjusted timetables caused by the threat of Russian strikes.\n\nNo casualties were reported in the incident. Johnson described the drone strike as a \"random and senseless attack\", highlighting the daily dangers faced by Ukrainian civilians and railway workers. Other officials who attended the conference and travelled on the diplomatic train included UK National Security Adviser Jonathan Powell, former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt, and senior officials from France, Italy, and other European countries.",
