Russian drone strike kills 14 at Dnipro station; Melania Trump-brokered truce holds in Oleshky

cbsnews.com —

A Russian drone strike on a passenger train station in Dnipro, Ukraine, killed at least 14 people and injured 14 others Thursday, while separate attacks killed five more civilians in Chernihiv and Kremenchuk. The strikes occurred as a localized ceasefire in Oleshky, credited to U.S. first lady Melania Trump, held for a third day. The jet-powered drone hit two trains in Dnipro, with officials reporting severe injuries including a 40-year-old man who had his legs amputated. In Oleshky, both Russia and Ukraine confirmed adherence to the truce, with humanitarian aid deliveries and demining operations set to begin, while residents prepared for potential evacuations. The six-day ceasefire around Russian-occupied Oleshky has brought rare calm to nearby Kherson, with both sides thanking Melania Trump for brokering the deal to deliver supplies to about 2,000 trapped people. The pause comes amid shifting U.S. relations, as President Trump has waived sanctions on Russia and limited Ukraine's Starshield satellite service.
