Russian Drone Hits Train 2 Km from Polish Border After Johnson Passes Through
- On Sunday, September 13, 2026, a Russian jet-powered drone struck the locomotive of a Kyiv–Warsaw passenger train at Yahodyn station roughly 2 km from the Polish border; Ukrzaliznytsia reported the crew evacuated 206 passengers, preventing injuries.
- A diplomatic train carrying former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt departed Yahodyn station shortly before the strike, leading Ukrzaliznytsia officials to assess it is "quite possible" the drone targeted the delegation.
- Falling debris ignited a gas station and destroyed cargo trucks near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk crossing roughly 800 meters from the Polish frontier; Major Dariusz Sienicki confirmed temporary operational disruptions at the checkpoint.

- Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned intensifying Russian strikes near the frontier require heightened vigilance, as Polish Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz confirmed the military mobilized reconnaissance aircraft without airspace violations.
