Fourteen people were killed and 14 injured in an October 29 Russian drone strike on Dnipro’s railway station, regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha said, according to Ukrainska Pravda. The platform held the Dnipro-Zaporizhzhia train.1
Ukraine’s National Police said an electric train was hit at around 11:00 local time. Its initial statement recorded 13 deaths and 10 injuries; the later governor’s tally reported by Ukrainska Pravda was higher.21
Ukraine’s Air Force said Russian forces sent four jet-powered drones toward Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Three were destroyed by air defence, while one hit the Dnipro station platform, Ukrainska Pravda reported.3
Ukrainian Railways chief Oleksandr Pertsovskyi said an alert had preceded the strike but many people remained on the platform, according to Euronews. How much warning and shelter access individual passengers had remains unclear.4
The casualty figures and attack sequence are Ukrainian officials’ accounts. The intended target has not been independently established.
