A Russian drone strike hit a passenger train at a railway station in the city of Shostka, located in Ukraine’s northern Sumy region, leaving dozens injured, including several passengers, Ukrainian local authorities confirmed.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack in a message on Telegram, describing it as an act of terrorism against civilians.
“A brutal Russian drone attack targeted the Shostka railway station in the Sumy region. All necessary emergency services are already on the scene providing assistance. At the moment, dozens of injuries are being reported,” Zelensky stated.
He added that Russia could not have been unaware that the target was civilian, calling the strike “a clear act of terrorism.”
“The world has no right to ignore this. Every day, Russia takes human lives. Only strength can force them to stop. Words are no longer enough — strong action is needed,” emphasized the Ukrainian president.
