Boris Johnson Narrowly Escapes Drone Attack in Ukraine
Ukrainian rail officials said 1 drone may have targeted Boris Johnson’s train, but the strike hit an engine and no one was hurt.
- On Sunday, a Russian drone struck a passenger train at Yahodyn station near the Polish border, shortly after a diplomatic train carrying former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson had departed the area, with no casualties reported.
- Russia's Defense Ministry stated its forces targeted "railway infrastructure facilities in western Ukraine that are used to transport military cargoes from European countries," as both sides intensified long-distance strikes near the border in recent weeks.
- Former CIA Director David Petraeus, present at the station during the strike, described it as "terrifying," while Johnson condemned the "random and senseless" attack, noting Putin is responsible for 1,700 Ukrainian Railways staff deaths.
- Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha warned "Putin's terror is literally knocking at the door of the European Union and NATO," while Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski stated the strikes affect the "safety of my countrymen."
- Prime Minister Donald Tusk of Poland chaired an emergency meeting in Warsaw, warning he expects Russia to escalate the war "in the coming weeks" and cannot exclude strikes affecting Polish territory.
