A Russian airstrike struck a passenger train in Ukraine’s northern Sumy region, resulting in casualties among those on board, according to regional governor Oleh Hryhorov on Saturday, October 4. The attack specifically targeted a railway station, and the train was en route to Kyiv when it was hit.
At the time of reporting, the exact number of casualties had not been disclosed. Hryhorov shared a photo showing a burning train coach and confirmed that medical personnel and rescue teams were responding at the scene.
This strike is part of an ongoing Russian campaign targeting Ukraine’s railway infrastructure, which has seen frequent attacks nearly every day over the past two months.
