Event Chronology
According to Vice Prime Minister for Recovery of Ukraine Oleksiy Kuleba, Russian troops struck three drones in front of the locomotive and directly at the passenger car, causing a fire.
There were 291 passengers on board the train. The train crew immediately began evacuating people. Two injured passengers were hospitalized in medical facilities.
