Kyiv - A Russian drone hit a Ukrainian passenger train traveling in Ukraine's eastern Kharkiv region Tuesday, killing at least five people, according to the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office.
"In any country, a drone strike on a civilian train would be regarded in the same way - purely as an act of terrorism," President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a social media post.
Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Kuleba said in a social media post that, according to preliminary information, the attack involved three Iranian-made Shahed attack drones, which hit the engine and one passenger car, causing a fire.
"There were 291 passengers on board. People were evacuated as quickly as possible," he said, echoing Zelenskyy in calling the strike "a direct act of Russian terror against civilians. No military target."
Russia's government routinely denies targeting civilian infrastructure, but there was no specific reaction from the Kremlin or Russian military to the allegations that it had deliberately struck a train carrying civilians.
