Russian Drone Hits Train 2 Km from Polish Border After Johnson Passes Through
- A Russian drone struck a train near the Ukraine-Poland border on Sunday, shortly after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and other European security officials passed through the area.
- Johnson, Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt, and CIA Director David Petraeus had attended the Yalta European Strategy conference in Kyiv, an annual gathering of leaders and experts.
- Ukrzaliznytsia said it "constantly adjusts train schedules" to guard against strikes; the diplomatic train carrying Johnson left Yahodyn station early, while another train remained during the strike.
- There were no casualties reported from the train attack; earlier on Sunday, Russian drones hit a truck near the Polish border, forcing temporary closure of the Yahodyn-Dorohusk crossing.
- "What we can say for sure is that this is the kind of random and senseless attack Ukrainians are enduring every day," Johnson wrote, condemning the strike on civilian railways.
