According to Zelenskyy, the drone struck a railway platform where a suburban electric train and a passenger train were standing.

The attack killed at least 13 people and left 10 others injured, he said in a post on X. The trains were stopped at the station when they were hit.

Zelenskyy described the incident as a horrific attack and condemned the targeting of passenger trains.

Zelenskyy Calls For Tougher Sanctions Against Russia

Following the strike, the Ukrainian President called on the European Union, the United States and the G7 to strengthen sanctions against Russia.
