Russian jet-powered drone kills 14 people waiting for a train at Dnipro station in central Ukraine
Volodymyr Zelensky swiftly appealed to the United States to take stronger action in response to the attack.
A Russian jet-powered drone hit a packed platform at Dnipro's main station on Thursday morning as commuters boarded a train bound for Zaporizhzhia, killing 14 people and wounding 14 more, among them an 11-year-old boy and a 40-year-old man who lost both legs. Across Ukraine that day, the death toll reached 19, including two 15-year-old girls killed by a cruise missile in Chernihiv.
Zelensky condemned the strikes as deliberate targeting of civilians and pressed for new US, EU and G7 sanctions, connecting them to Trump's deal easing Russian diesel imports.
The attacks occurred even as a six-day humanitarian ceasefire brokered partly by First Lady Melania Trump held in Russian-occupied Oleshky, enabling aid to reach around 2,000 trapped residents.
British components have been found inside the Russian suicide drones responsible for attacks such as the one that devastated Dnipro station.
