Ukraine: 13 killed in Russian drone strike on crowded Dnipro train station

At least 13 people were killed and five more injured when a Russian drone struck a passenger train which was stopped at a station in the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday morning.

According to Ukrainian state railway operator Ukrzaliznytsia, a jet-powered drone struck a platform on which people were waiting to board a regional train to Zaporizhzhia, about a two-hour journey to the south.

"Despite an increased threat warning, people were on the platform," the company said.

In images circulating on social media, bodies could be seen strewn across a train station platform, with police officers kneeling beside them.

Dnipro city mayor Borys Filatov also confirmed the incident, which he called a "tragedy."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the attack "horrific" and demanded "international action."
