Downed Russian drone hits passenger train at Ukrainian station, sparking fire

A fire was sparked on a Ukrainian passenger train after it was hit by a downed Russian drone while at a station.

Ukraine’s state rail operator Ukrzaliznytsia said fire broke out in a carriage of a train waiting on the platform in the city of Sumy after a ‘Shahed-type drone’ landed on its roof.

Footage taken from the platform shows abandoned luggage scattered across the station platform as a UAV billowing black smoke apparently free-falls into the rear of the train.

Ukrzaliznytsia confirmed there were no injuries following the incident.
