Russian drone strike on Ukrainian railway station kills 14 in Dnipro
A Russian drone struck Dnipro's railway station, killing at least 14 people in attacks across Ukraine that left 19 dead.
Russian forces struck a railway station in Dnipro on Thursday, killing at least 14 people. Ten more were injured.
The attack was part of broader Kremlin strikes on civilians. Two 15-year-old girls died in Chernihiv from a Russian cruise missile.
Two more civilians died when a drone hit an apartment block in Kremenchuk. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky called the Dnipro strike "horrific" and questioned the timing of attacks after sanctions on Russian oligarchs were lifted.
Russia's Defence Ministry said its air defences downed 1,214 Ukrainian drones overnight. Moscow's mayor said about half were heading to the Russian capital.
In contrast, a ceasefire in the southern city of Oleshky held for a third day, allowing de-mining work and aid deliveries.

AustraliaNo direct Australian effect yet, but the worsening conflict and expanded targeting of civilian infrastructure shapes Australia's policy stance on Ukraine aid and international support.
