A passenger train travelling from Kyiv to Warsaw was hit by a Russian drone two kilometres from the Polish border. No casualties were reported on the train.
Ukraine’s foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, described the attack as “Putin’s terror knocking directly on the doors of the EU and Nato.” Poland’s foreign minister, Radosław Sikorski, stated that “Putin is escalating,” while Polish interior minister Marcin Kierwiński said, “We treat these events with the utmost seriousness.”
The incident occurred amidst overnight attacks across Ukraine, which involved more than 450 drones and missiles launched by Russia. These attacks killed at least six people and injured over 40. Ukraine’s air force reported intercepting 405 drones and four missiles.
Western Ukraine, typically less affected than other regions, was particularly impacted. A truck less than one kilometre from the Dorohusk-Yahodyn border crossing between Ukraine and Poland was also hit. The strikes prompted air raid warnings in Poland.
The US president, Donald Trump, commented on Sunday, advising Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy to “stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia” due to resulting shortages.
