A Russian drone struck a train near the Ukraine-Poland border shortly after former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and other dignitaries passed through the area, according to Ukraine’s rail operator. The attack occurred as the train was traveling from Ukraine toward Poland. No casualties were reported in the incident.
The drone strike happened moments after the train had passed a Ukrainian station, as confirmed by multiple Australian media outlets. The train was carrying high-profile officials, including Johnson, who had just concluded meetings with Ukrainian leaders. The attack is believed to be part of ongoing Russian military operations in the region.
Ukrainian rail authorities confirmed the strike but did not provide further details on the extent of damage or the drone’s origin. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of diplomatic and government travel in the conflict zone.
The attack highlights the increasing use of drones in the war, with Russian forces targeting infrastructure and transportation routes. While no one was injured, the event underscores the risks faced by officials moving through contested areas.
