At least 14 people were killed and at least 14 others injured after a drone struck a train station in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro, Ukrainian officials said. Authorities reported that among the wounded was an 11-year-old boy. The incident was attributed to a Russian drone attack by local officials.
Emergency services and medical teams responded to the scene, treating the injured and transporting victims to hospitals in the city, officials said. Local authorities opened an investigation into the strike and were conducting searches and rescue operations at the site as first responders worked to secure the area.
The attack targeted a transportation hub in Dnipro, a regional centre that has been affected by strikes during the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Officials did not provide an immediate breakdown of civilian versus military casualties or further details on the type of drone used in the assault.
The strike underscores the continued vulnerability of civilian infrastructure in Ukraine amid the broader, ongoing war. International reactions were not detailed in the initial reports; Ukrainian authorities are continuing to collect information and have urged residents to follow safety guidance as recovery efforts proceed.
