Russians struck waiting passengers at a train station in Ukraine, 14 dead

On October 29, a Russian drone attack targeted a platform at the Dnipro railway station, resulting in at least fourteen fatalities and injuries to another fourteen individuals. The Ukrainian state railway reported that a passenger train was preparing to depart for Zaporizhzhia when the attack occurred. This incident coincided with a humanitarian ceasefire aimed at facilitating evacuations in occupied areas. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack, questioning the lifting of sanctions on Russian oligarchs. European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, also criticized the ongoing violence against civilians. The attack is part of a broader pattern of assaults on Ukrainian railway infrastructure, leading to stricter safety protocols for passengers.
