A Russian drone strike targeted a passenger train in northeastern Ukraine, killing five people. The train, traveling from Chop to Barvinkove, was attacked after being forced to halt by an initial drone strike. A Ukrainian soldier, identified as Omar, part of the 93rd brigade, instructed passengers to evacuate immediately before a carriage burst into flames. Omar, a drone unit commander, recognized the danger of a stationary target and helped passengers escape to safety. He later returned to the train to search for survivors, finding a woman and baby unharmed. President Zelensky condemned the attack as terrorism.
