Senior officials from European countries were on a train that left a station early to avoid a potential threat. This precautionary measure was taken after they attended a security conference. A drone strike occurred soon after, hitting a train at a nearby location.

The target of the drone is believed to have been the train carrying the visiting dignitaries, which included former leaders of the UK and Sweden. Further information about the incident is available from Ukraine's state rail operator. Details of the attack have been shared by one of the visitors, who posted a video online.
