Russian attacks across Ukraine kill 27, injure 127 over past day as 'horrific attack' strikes Dnipro train station

At least 27 people were killed and 127 injured in Russian attacks across Ukraine over the past day, with a daytime drone strike on Dnipro's train station accounting for the highest number of casualties, local authorities said.

A Russian attack struck a platform at Dnipro railway station on the morning of Oct. 29, killing at least 15 people and injuring at least 14 others, regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha said.

A passenger train was preparing to depart for Zaporizhzhia when the station was struck by a Russian jet-powered drone, Ukrainian Railways wrote on social media. According to Ukraine's Air Force, Dnipro was targeted by four Russian jet-powered drones at around 11 a.m., three of which were shot down by Ukrainian air defenses before reaching their targets.

"A horrific Russian attack on Dnipro train station," President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on social media in response to the attack. "The Russians used a drone to attack a platform where a regular commuter train and a regular passenger train were standing."

International leaders reacted throughout the day, condemning the attacks against the backdrop of reported progress in peace negotiations.

Later in the day, Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov reported that a Russian drone struck the dormitory of a vocational school in Dnipro, setting the entire fifth floor on fire. There were no injuries, Filatov said, as the students had managed to reach the shelter before the strike.

Throughout the day, Russian attacks across Dnipropetrovsk Oblast injured four more people, including a 15-year-old girl, Hanzha said in an evening statement on Oct.29.

Following the Russian attacks overnight, about 350,000 people in the oblast were left without electricity, Hanzha said in the early morning.

Beyond strikes on Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Russia launched ballistic missiles, four guided aerial missiles, and 113 Shahed-type drones, including 83 jet-powered drones, against Ukraine overnight on Oct. 30, according to Ukraine's Air Force.

The main targets of the attack were in Kyiv, Poltava, and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts, according to the Air Force.

Ukrainian air defenses intercepted or suppressed three of the guided missiles and 96 Russian Shahed-type drones, including 71 jet-powered drones, across 17 locations, the Air Force said.

The Air Force did not specify how many Russian ballistic missiles were launched or how many were intercepted.

In Chernihiv Oblast, Russian forces struck central Chernihiv in northern Ukraine around noon on Oct. 29 with Banderol cruise missiles, killing two 15-year-old girls, regional governor Viacheslav Chaus said.

The attack injured 25 other people, including four children, Chaus said. The youngest child is 10 months old, while the others include a 10-year-old girl and boys aged 16 and 17, he added. Eight people remain hospitalized.

Oct. 30 has been declared a day of mourning in Chernihiv.

In the city of Kremenchuk in Poltava Oblast, at least three people were killed and 32 injured, including six children, after Russian drones struck an apartment building in a residential area, regional governor Vitalii Diakivnych said.
