Zelensky condemns deadly Russian drone strike on passenger train

BBC:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has condemned as “terrorism” a Russian drone attack on a passenger train that local officials say killed at least four people.

Zelensky said another four people were missing after the train with more than 200 people on board was hit in Ukraine’s north-eastern Kharkiv region on Tuesday.

Earlier, officials in Ukraine’s southern port of Odesa said three people were killed in an overnight Russian drone attack.

Russia has not commented. Moscow has in recent months intensified its drone and missile strikes targeting Ukraine’s energy and transport infrastructure as the country faces its harshest winter in years.

Millions of people across Ukraine have been left without heating, electricity and water after the Russian assaults.

Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion in February 2022, and Moscow currently controls about 20% of Ukrainian territory.
