"Two Russian drones struck trains at a station in Ukraine's northern Sumy region, killing one person and injuring about 30 others, officials said on Saturday, with Ukraine's foreign minister accusing Moscow of deliberately hitting passenger trains. A brutal Russian drone strike on the railway station in Shostka, Sumy region, wrote the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on Telegram, posting a video of a wrecked, burning passenger carriage and others with their windows blown out."
"Moscow has stepped up its airstrikes on Ukraine's railway infrastructure, hitting it almost every day over the last two months. Russia has repeatedly denied targeting civilians in its war in Ukraine, although many thousands have been killed by its military. In a video interview from a train en route to the strike site, the CEO of Ukraine's state rail company Oleksandr Pertsovskyi told Reuters the drones had targeted locomotives, but had also damaged the carriages attached to them."
