A Russian drone struck a train at Yahodyn station near the Poland border shortly after a diplomatic train carrying Boris Johnson, Carl Bildt, and EU security advisers departed early, Ukraine's rail operator said. A separate train carrying former CIA Director David Petraeus was still at the station when the strike happened; no casualties were reported on any train.

Ukrzaliznytsia said the diplomatic train's early departure was likely what saved it, and that it constantly adjusts schedules to guard against strikes. Bildt posted video calling the evacuation system 'very good'; Johnson called the strike random and senseless, noting it is the kind of attack Ukrainians endure daily. A drone also hit a truck near the same border crossing hours earlier, briefly closing it.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.
