Russian Drone Hits Train 2 Km from Polish Border After Johnson Passes Through
Ukrzaliznytsia said passengers were evacuated 15 minutes before the strike, and no injuries were reported on the train near the Poland border.
- On Sunday, September 13, a Russian jet-powered drone struck a locomotive at Yahodyn station approximately 2km from Poland. Ukrainian state railway operator Ukrzaliznytsia reported that all 206 passengers evacuated safely after monitoring staff issued a warning 15 minutes before impact.
- Russia launched 453 drones overnight as part of a systematic campaign targeting Ukraine's rail infrastructure and logistics corridors. The escalating assault reflects Moscow's effort to erode transport lifelines critical for trade and Western military aid flowing westward.
- A diplomatic train carrying former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson departed Yahodyn station ahead of schedule before the strike. Separately, falling drone debris ignited a gas station and cargo trucks approximately 800 meters from the Yahodyn-Dorohusk crossing, forcing temporary closure.
- Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha condemned the attacks as "Putin's terror" directly "knocking on the doors of the EU and NATO," calling for broader sanctions. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk convened an emergency meeting to address the security escalation.
- Polish military systems deployed F-16 fighters and reconnaissance aircraft to monitor the frontier as officials warned that strikes approaching NATO territory heighten risks of accidental miscalculation. Poland confirmed its airspace remained unviolated despite the proximity of Russian attacks.
