Russian drone attack on train station kills 13 in Ukraine’s Dnipro
Ukraine said 14 people were killed and 14 wounded as a jet-powered drone hit a crowded platform and damaged two passenger trains.
On Thursday, October 29, 2026, a Russian jet-powered drone struck a platform at the main railway station in Dnipro, Ukraine, hitting stopped passenger trains and killing at least 14 people.
Russian attacks on Ukrainian rail infrastructure have surged to 1,700 this year, yet despite an elevated threat level announced before the strike, many passengers remained on the platform.
Regional authorities reported 14 people killed and 14 others wounded, with six victims in critical condition. Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, said emergency responders provided life-saving support at the scene.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack as "horrific" and criticized recent sanctions easing, as Russian drones simultaneously struck Chernihiv and Kremenchuk, killing two 15-year-old girls and three others.
Despite the ongoing violence, a fragile three-day ceasefire in Oleshky brokered by U.S. First Lady Melania Trump has allowed aid to reach 2,000 trapped residents, officials said.
