Russian drone strikes train station two kilometers from Polish border
A Russian drone attacked a train station in Ukraine located approximately two kilometers from the Polish border on September 13, 2026, according to DW News reporting from Kyiv. Warsaw characterized the strike as a dangerous escalation, though no casualties were reported. The incident occurred near a diplomatic train that had recently carried security advisers from several EU member states — including former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson — through the station, raising concerns about the proximity of Russian strikes to NATO territory and EU officials.
