Russian forces struck a railway station in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro with a drone this afternoon, killing 13 people and injuring five others. The head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Hanzha, reported the incident.
Ukrainian Railways said a jet-powered drone struck one of the platforms, where train No. 866, traveling from Dnipro to Zaporizhzhia, was standing. Despite a warning about the danger, people remained on the platform.
All emergency services are working at the scene.
The strike on the railway station highlights the dangers posed by attacks on civilian transport hubs, particularly when people are waiting for trains in these areas. The number of people killed and injured in this case reflects the severity of the attack's consequences.
Particular attention should be paid to the fact that people remained on the platform even after a warning about the danger had been issued. However, the information reported so far does not explain why they did not leave or under what circumstances the evacuation took place. Answers to these questions are important for understanding the full picture of the incident.
