13 killed, 10 injured as Russian drone hits two trains stopped at station in central Ukraine

A jet-powered Russian drone hit two trains stopped at the Dnipro railway station in central Ukraine on Thursday (October 29), killing at least 13 people and injuring 10 others, Ukrainian authorities said. "Thirteen people were killed in a Russian attack on Dnipro. At least five more were wounded," Dnipropetrovsk regional governor Oleksandr Ganzha said on Telegram.

Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov described the incident as a "tragedy", saying a drone had struck a civilian electric train. "Many people



have been killed. Lots are wounded," he said.

Ukrainian Railways, the state railway operator, said a jet-powered Russian drone hit one of the platforms at Dnipro station, where train No. 866, travelling from Dnipro to Zaporizhzhia, was standing at the time of the strike.

The railway operator's chief, Oleksandr Pertsovsky, said an elevated threat level had been announced before the attack. However, a large number of people were still on the platform, he said in a Facebook post.
