War against Ukraine Many dead in attack on train station in Dnipro As of: October 29, 2026 • 3:04 p.m

According to Ukrainian reports, a Russian drone killed at least 14 people at the Dnipro train station. While Russia and Ukraine continue to attack each other with drones, the ceasefire holds in the frontline town of Oleshky.

According to authorities, at least 14 people were killed in a Russian drone attack in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro. As the head of the regional military administration, Olexander Hanscha, announced via Telegram, a drone hit the city's train station, where an S-Bahn and a passenger train to Zaporizhzhia were at the time. 13 other people were injured, some of them seriously - including a child.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj spoke on Platform X of a “terrible attack”. He once again demanded that sanctions against Russia should not be relaxed as long as the war lasted. It is time for tougher sanctions from the EU, the USA and the G7.

Zelensky also published photos and a video showing the consequences of the attack. You can see injured people being carried away by rescue workers and unrecognizable dead people on the platform.

Ukrainian Railways said a jet-powered drone hit a platform carrying the Dnipro-Zaporizhzhia train. People stayed on the platform despite an announced increased risk. Mayor Borys Filatov spoke of a tragedy. It was a civilian train.

The attack came as Ukraine and Russia are implementing one of the largest joint humanitarian operations since the start of the war in the Russian-held frontline town of Oleshky in southern Ukraine's Kherson region. The ceasefire that has been in effect since Tuesday appears to be holding.

Work to remove and defuse mines was being carried out successfully in the city, as the Ukrainian human rights commissioner Dmytro Lubinets and his Russian colleague Jana Lantratova announced at the same time. The measures should enable the creation of a safer aid corridor.

“At the same time, we are already putting together the humanitarian aid shipment that we want to bring to Oleschky tomorrow,” said Lubinets, who will also be there himself. Accordingly, the representatives of both warring parties are coordinating closely. "The ceasefire has already lasted 54 hours. Both sides are fulfilling their obligations," said Lantratova. There are no violations.

The people in the embattled city should now receive food and medicine. more

The people of Oleschky should be able to leave the city in the next few days via a humanitarian aid corridor. Anyone who wants to stay in the city, which has been sealed off and completely undersupplied for months, should receive food deliveries and medicine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine of cutting off the city from the outside world by mining the entrances. This has created “virtually a humanitarian catastrophe,” said Putin.

According to estimates, around 1,500 to 2,000 people still live in Oleschky, including dozens of children. Before the war there were 24,000 residents.

Russia wants to continue attacking despite planned talks. Two people were killed in an attack in Kharkiv. more

Despite the ceasefire, mutual attacks continue. In addition to the attack in Dnipro, Ukraine reported more than 100 other Russian drones that were fired into Ukrainian territory during the night.

The Russian Defense Ministry, for its part, spoke of more than 1,200 Ukrainian drones intercepted last night. According to Moscow Governor Sergei Sobyanin, more than 600 drones were heading towards the capital region.

A two-day Russia-Africa summit is currently taking place in Moscow, in which, according to the Kremlin, the leaders of 22 African countries are taking part. In this context, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the timing of the mass drone attacks on the capital “strange.” "It is an event of global importance [...]. Of course it is strange to launch such a massive drone attack on Moscow at such a time," he told Russian media.
