‘Horrific’ Russian drone strike kills 13 at Ukraine train station

Kyiv – A Russian drone slammed into a busy platform at a railway station in Ukraine’s Dnipro on Thursday killing at least 13 people in what President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called a “horrific” attack that demands a response from Kyiv’s allies. The strike came as Ukraine and Russia strive to uphold a fragile local ceasefire in the ravaged city of Oleshky — under Russian occupation since 2022 and where residents have faced months of food, water and medicine shortages. The truce was holding into its third day, both countries said, with the Ukrainian human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets announcing that he had “set out with the Ukrainian delegation towards Oleshky” through Belarus and Russia.
