Russian drone strike kills 14 at Dnipro train station, Ukraine says

gulfnews.com —

A Russian drone strike on a railway station in Dnipro, Ukraine, killed at least 14 people on Thursday, an attack President Volodymyr Zelensky called "horrific" and used to urge allies not to ease sanctions on Moscow. The strike hit a platform with commuter and passenger trains, wounding 14 others, including an 11-year-old boy. Regional governor Oleksandr Ganzha said six of the wounded were in severe condition with multiple shrapnel wounds, and one man had both legs amputated. Ukraine's air force intercepted three drones but a fourth evaded defenses. The attack occurred as a fragile local ceasefire held for a third day in the occupied city of Oleshky. At least six others were killed in separate Russian attacks across Ukraine, including two 15-year-old girls in Chernigiv. Zelensky criticized a US-Russia deal easing sanctions on Russia's energy sector, questioning its impact. Russia and Ukraine are set to meet with US envoys next month to discuss ending the conflict.
