A Russian drone strike hit a train station near the Ukraine-Poland border on Sunday, damaging infrastructure and sparking fires at a nearby petrol station. The attack targeted the rail network, which connects Ukraine to the West, officials said. The strike occurred shortly after a diplomatic train carrying foreign dignitaries, including former UK and Swedish prime ministers, passed through the same track. Ukraine’s state rail operator confirmed the damage, describing the attack as a warning to Kyiv’s allies.
Poland vowed to increase security following the strikes, which have intensified near the border. The attack is seen as part of a broader Russian strategy to disrupt Ukraine’s supply lines and pressure Western support. A separate fire ignited at a petrol station near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk border crossing, forcing firefighters to respond quickly. The incident highlights the growing tensions along the eastern front, with both sides escalating military actions.
Ukraine has responded by launching its largest attack of the year, reclaiming 14 towns and exposing Russian troop failures. The drone strikes near the border underscore the ongoing conflict’s impact on civilian infrastructure and international diplomatic efforts. The situation remains volatile, with both sides continuing to escalate their military presence.
