Russian Drone Strike Kills 14 at Dnipro Train Station as Oleshky Truce Holds a Third Day
Photo: CBS NewsA Russian jet-powered drone hit two passenger trains stopped at a station in Dnipro, central Ukraine, on Thursday, killing at least 14 people and injuring 14 more, Ukrainian officials said. One of the injured, a 40-year-old man, had his legs amputated. Ukraine's state railway company, Ukrzaliznytsia, said the drone hit the platform as commuters waited to board. Elsewhere, a Russian cruise missile killed two 15-year-old girls in Chernihiv, and a drone killed three civilians in an apartment block in Kremenchuk, Ukrainian authorities said. In all, 56 people were injured, including 10 children. Russia's Defense Ministry said it struck transport infrastructure used by the Ukrainian army and did not claim the Dnipro attack.
Russia said its air defenses downed 1,214 Ukrainian drones overnight, about half headed for Moscow. Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said 231 were destroyed approaching the capital. Local authorities said a Ukrainian attack killed a woman in Russia's Belgorod region. Meanwhile, a localized ceasefire around Oleshky in the Kherson region, which both sides credit to U.S. first lady Melania Trump, entered a third day. A Ukrainian official said humanitarian aid was poised to enter the city as units cleared landmines.
Newsmax, the right-leaning outlet, leads with the truce: its headline and opening say aid is set to enter Oleshky as the ceasefire holds, citing a Ukrainian official, and the excerpt shown does not mention the Dnipro casualties. The left-leaning outlets lead with the strikes. CNN's headline focuses on the Dnipro station attack, giving 14 dead in the headline and 13 in its excerpt. CBS News headlines the 14 deaths but adds the truce, along with the Chernihiv and Kremenchuk deaths, the 56 injured and the 1,214-drone claim. Both sides report the truce, the third day and the Ukrainian official's aid statement. They differ in weight: the right foregrounds de-escalation, the left foregrounds civilian deaths. Semafor, independent, adds that some warned Russia could use Oleshky for resupply and propaganda, and that Ukrainians now favor Melania Trump over her husband. Antiwar.com stresses Ukraine's 1,200-plus drones.
