A Russian drone struck the locomotive of a passenger train traveling from Kyiv to Warsaw on Sunday morning, hitting it just two kilometers from the Polish border in Ukraine's Volyn region.

Ukrainian Railways reported that authorities warned the train crew in advance, allowing the evacuation of all 206 passengers with no injuries. The strike targeted the engine carriage after it had been detached from the rest of the train.

The incident formed part of a large-scale Russian attack overnight involving more than 450 drones and missiles. Ukrainian forces intercepted 405 drones and four missiles, but the strikes killed at least six people and injured more than 40 across the country. Western Ukraine saw particularly heavy activity.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha described the border strikes as “Putin’s terror knocking directly on the doors of the EU and NATO.” He called for increased sanctions on Russia.

Authorities also reported a drone hit on a lorry less than one kilometer from the Dorohusk-Yahodyn border crossing and a fire at a nearby petrol station. Polish officials confirmed the sites were on Ukrainian territory and noted that Polish airspace remained unviolated, though air-raid warnings sounded in parts of eastern Poland.

A separate train carrying foreign dignitaries, including former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, former CIA Director David Petraeus, and ex-Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt, had crossed the border minutes earlier on the same line. Bildt posted on X that the affected train was evacuated safely as the drone approached.

Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz stated that jet-powered Geran-5 drones were involved in the western Ukraine attacks. Poland scrambled fighter jets and reconnaissance aircraft in response.

The strikes highlight ongoing Russian efforts to target infrastructure near NATO borders amid the broader conflict in Ukraine.
