A drone attack by Russia on a railway station in Shostka, northeastern Ukraine, left at least 30 people injured, including three children, as Moscow intensifies strikes on the country’s rail and power networks ahead of the fourth winter since its full-scale invasion.
"All emergency services are already on the scene and have begun helping people. All information about the injured is being established," he said in a post on X.
Three children were among those hospitalized, according to a Facebook post by the head of Ukraine's national rail operator, Ukrzaliznytsia. One of the company's employees, a cashier, was also treated at the hospital, Oleksandr Pertsovsky added.
Russia struck two passenger trains in quick succession, first targeting a local service and then one bound for Kyiv, said Oleksiy Kuleba, Ukraine's deputy prime minister and reconstruction minister.
"Medical teams have already transported the injured to hospitals and are providing necessary assistance. Others (who were at the site) are in shelters overseen by rescuers," Kuleba wrote on Telegram on Saturday. He said an air raid alert was ongoing at the station.
