A Russian drone struck a train near the Ukraine-Poland border shortly after former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson left a station during his visit to Kyiv, according to multiple reports. The attack occurred as Johnson and other European officials were traveling on a special train from Kyiv to Poland. The drone hit a train running immediately behind his service, causing damage to the engine but no casualties, according to Ukrainian authorities. All passengers were evacuated following the strike.
The incident has raised concerns about the escalating tensions in the region. Polish officials warned of a potential threat inside the house, following reports that Johnson and five other officials were targeted in the attack. The Polish minister emphasized the danger posed by Russian actions, calling it an escalation of the conflict.
The UK government has not yet issued an official statement on the incident, but the attack has sparked discussions about the security risks faced by diplomats and officials in the region. Ukrainian authorities confirmed that the train was hit near the town of Yahodyn, close to the Polish border. The event highlights the ongoing risks associated with the war in Ukraine and the increasing use of drones in attacks.
The situation remains under review as investigations into the incident continue.
