A Russian drone has struck a passenger train traveling from Kyiv to Warsaw, impacting the locomotive just two kilometers from the Polish border, the rail operator confirmed. The incident occurred on the early morning of September 13, 2026.
Authorities have not reported any injuries among the passengers or crew. The strike happened as the train was approaching the border crossing, raising alarms about the safety of civilian transport routes in the region amid the ongoing conflict.
The event marks another escalation in the volatility surrounding Ukraine’s railway infrastructure, with strikes now occurring dangerously close to NATO member Poland’s territory. Investigations into the specifics of the drone attack are underway.
Glad no one was hurt, but how is this even possible? Two kilometers is way too close.
This is incredibly alarming. A strike this close to NATO territory changes everything.
