Russian drone strike kills 14 in Dnipro train station. A jet-powered drone struck a crowded platform at Dnipro railway station, killing at least 14 people and wounding 13 others. The attack, which occurred as Ukraine and Russia sought to uphold a fragile ceasefire, highlights continued Russian aggression against Ukrainian infrastructure.
The attack occurred on Oct. 29, 2026, as a passenger train prepared to depart the platform. Ukrainian authorities confirmed the death toll, with 14 confirmed dead and 13 wounded. The drone, one of four targeted by Russian forces, evaded Ukrainian air defenses before striking the station. President Zelenskyy called the attack 'horrific' and criticized Russia's continued escalation.
Ukraine's railways have faced repeated attacks, with over 500 locomotives destroyed or damaged. The incident underscores the ongoing threat to Ukraine's infrastructure and the need for sustained international pressure on Russia. Zelenskyy warned against easing sanctions, emphasizing that Russia's attacks on civilians are a direct result of lifted sanctions on oligarchs and the energy sector.
Zelenskyy criticized a recent deal between Trump and Putin that allowed some sanctions on Russia to be lifted, arguing it has enabled continued Russian aggression. The attack follows similar strikes in Chernihiv and Kremenchuk, with Russia intensifying drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.
