Addressing concurrent events, the mayor of Moscow reported that 613 Ukrainian drones were launched overnight toward the region, with most shot down in flight. Russia's defence ministry has consistently denied targeting Ukrainian civilians, asserting that its railway strikes specifically target infrastructure used for transporting military personnel and equipment.
Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov described the incident as a tragedy after a drone struck an electric civilian train. He noted that a large number of people were still on the platform when the drone hit.
Pictures released by the Ukrainian rescue services show a large hole in a platform strewn with bodies, positioned near a blast-damaged train with smashed windows. Attacks on Ukraine's train infrastructure have risen sharply, highlighting real dangers to passengers.
The broader assault on Ukraine's infrastructure has intensified in recent weeks, encompassing two bridge attacks in the capital Kyiv and a metro train struck during one of the operations.
A Russian drone strike hit a civilian electric train at a station in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro, killing at least 14 people. At least 14 others were wounded in the attack, including an 11-year-old boy.
