Russian strikes in Ukraine kill 12, target passenger train

  • On Tuesday, Russian forces killed 12 people and struck energy infrastructure and a passenger train in Kharkiv region, with a drone attack setting rail cars on fire.
  • Amid a winter offensive targeting energy and rail infrastructure, the strikes came days after peace negotiators held talks aimed at ending the nearly four-year war.
  • The train was carrying more than 200 passengers from Chop to Barvinkove when struck; one carriage with 18 people was hit directly, and prosecutors found fragments of five bodies at the scene.
  • President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the train strike as terrorism and called for allies to pressure Moscow, writing `There is not and cannot be any military justification for killing civilians in a train carriage`.
  • The next round of U.S.-brokered talks is expected on February 1, Ukraine says, as Ukraine's air force reported 165 attack drones launched overnight, 135 neutralised by defences.
