Two railway workers killed in Odesa region A Russian jet-powered Shahed drone deliberately struck the locomotive of a passenger train in Odesa region, killing the train’s driver and assistant, Ukrainian Railways Board Chairman Oleksandr Pertsovskyi said. The attack occurred as the train was approaching a station where passengers were supposed to be evacuated after a drone threat was detected. “Unfortunately, I have to report the most terrible news: according to the information currently available, this strike left no chance for our locomotive crew – the driver and his assistant,” Pertsovskyi said. The train was carrying 340 passengers. They and the rest of the train crew were evacuated safely, with no injuries reported among them. Passengers were subsequently transported to Odesa by buses. Pertsovskyi said the locomotive crew had been trying to stop the train and allow passengers to disembark safely when the jet-powered drone made a rapid maneuver, leaving the crew insufficient time to evacuate themselves. “This is a terrible daily terror and a deliberate attack on civilians,” he said.
