Boris Johnson Narrowly Escapes Drone Attack in Ukraine
Ukrzaliznytsia said the drone may have been aimed at Johnson's train, and no one was hurt in the strike near the Polish border.
- On Sunday, a Russian drone struck a passenger train at Yahodyn station near the Polish border shortly after a train carrying former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson departed ahead of schedule. No casualties occurred, though the service behind his was directly hit.
- Ukrainian Railways reported the train 'had departed the station earlier than scheduled due to real-time adjustments' necessitated by the constant threat of Russian strikes. The operator stated it was 'quite possible' the drone had been aimed at Johnson's train.
- Travelling with former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt, national security adviser Jonathan Powell, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's adviser Gunter Sautter, Johnson condemned the attack as 'random and senseless.' He cited Putin's responsibility for 1,700 deaths of Ukrzaliznytsia staff.

- Border guards reported a separate strike Sunday on a truck near the Polish border, forcing a temporary halt at the Dorohusk-Yahodyn crossing point. Russia claimed it targeted infrastructure facilitating military cargo, signalling intensified long-distance strikes on western Ukrainian transit routes.
