Russia hits passenger train on Ukraine’s border with Poland, just misses ‘diplomatic train’

A Russian drone struck a passenger train near Ukraine's border with Poland, shortly after senior Western officials including former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and former US CIA director David Petraeus had passed through the area. Poland's leader has warned that Russia is likely to intensify such provocations along Ukraine's borders with European countries. It remains unclear whether Russia deliberately targeted the diplomatic train or the subsequent passenger train.
