bbc.com —

At least 14 people were killed when a Russian jet-powered drone struck a crowded platform at Dnipro's main railway station, with 14 others wounded, including an 11-year-old boy, Ukrainian officials said Thursday. The attack hit as a passenger train bound for Zaporizhzhia stood at the platform, according to state railway operator Ukrzaliznytsia. Regional head Oleksandr Hanzha confirmed the casualties, while President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the strike and urged new US, European, and G7 sanctions on Russia. Separately, two 15-year-old girls died in a Russian missile attack on Chernihiv. The strikes occurred amid a fragile ceasefire in occupied Oleshky, while Moscow reported shooting down 613 Ukrainian drones overnight during its Russia-Africa Summit.
