Russian forces struck a second passenger train, which was carrying 500 people, in Ukraine's Odesa region on Thursday, injuring a child.

It comes just hours after a Russian drone struck a passenger train carrying 340 people in the same region earlier in the day, an attack that had killed two crew members.

The victims of the attack were two crew members, the train machinist and his assistant, the CEO of Ukrainian Railways Oleksandr Pertsovskyi said in a post on Facebook.

None of the passengers were harmed.

"Today in the Odesa region, the Russians once again destroyed an ordinary passenger train locomotive with a jet-powered drone. There were 340 people on the train," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on X.
