Russias strike near Poland put Ukraines railway lifeline in focus. But the bigger threat lies elsewhere On Sept. 13, a Russian drone struck the locomotive of a Kyiv–Warsaw passenger train just 2 kilometers from the Polish border. The attack near Yahodyn caused no casualties, but it drew attention to one of Ukraines most important links to the outside world amid the pressures of Russias war — the railway.

Ukrainian state railway company Ukrzaliznytsia said its monitoring team detected the threat early enough to evacuate the crew before the strike on the locomotive.
