'Dozens' Hurt As Russia Strikes Ukrainian Passenger Train
"A Russian drone has hit a passenger train, causing an unknown number of casualties in the latest strike against a civilian target in the Kremlin's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Video posted on social media showed a Ukrainian railways passenger carriage in flames, with black smoke rising from twisted metal. The train was a regular service running to Kyiv from Shostka, in the northeastern Sumy region."
"Russia is systematically attacking Ukraine's railway infrastructure, trying to paralyze logistics, including the transportation of military cargo. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on social media that "dozens of people are already known to have been injured," while regional governor Oleh Hrihorov said that casualties were being counted. "This is terror that the world has no right to ignore. Every day, Russia takes people's lives. And only force can force them to stop it."

Russia is systematically attacking Ukraine's railway infrastructure to paralyze logistics, including the transport of military cargo. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said dozens were injured and called the attack terror, urging force and action from Europe and America. Peace prospects remain distant as the invasion nears four years and mediation efforts have made little progress. Ukrainian forces reported large-scale drone and missile attacks and struck a major Russian oil refinery.
