Russian drone hits train near Ukraine-Poland border shortly after European officials passed through
A Russian drone struck a train line near the Ukraine-Poland border shortly after a group of European officials, including former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and former CIA Director David Petraeus, had traveled on it. While the officials were not in immediate danger and their train was not directly hit, the incident forced some to evacuate and underscored the ongoing conflict. Russia launched over 800 drones over the weekend, more than double the rate seen since early July.
The incident highlights the heightened risk and proximity of the Russia-Ukraine conflict to NATO borders, even for high-profile international figures. It raises concerns about the security of critical infrastructure and the safety of diplomatic movements in the region.
The episode also covers Russia's launch of over 800 drones over the weekend and Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil refineries.
