Russia targeting EU, UK officials? Ukraine’s big claim after drone strike

A Russian drone strike on a train near the Ukraine-Poland border may have been aimed at a diplomatic train carrying former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt and European security officials, Ukraine’s state railway operator has claimed.The drone struck a locomotive at Yahodyn station, around 2 km from the Polish border, shortly after the diplomatic train carrying the senior officials had passed through the area. No casualties were reported.According to Ukrzaliznytsia, the diplomatic train had left the station earlier than scheduled after railway authorities adjusted timetables in real time because of the continuing threat of Russian strikes.“It is quite likely that the target of this Russian drone could also have been the diplomatic train,” the railway operator said, according to the Daily Mail.Ukrzaliznytsia later confirmed that the diplomatic train had been at the site shortly before the strike.
