· World · The Independent, NDTV
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was traveling on a train in Ukraine when a Russian drone strike hit a nearby stationary locomotive. The incident occurred near Yagodyn, close to the Polish border, as Johnson returned from a security conference in Kyiv. While an ordinary passenger train was evacuated due to a nearby gas station explosion, no VIP trains carrying foreign officials were directly targeted. Johnson subsequently urged the international community to provide Ukraine with more air defense systems and to unfreeze Russian assets held in European banks. No injuries were reported in the attack on the Ukrainian railway line.
