According to the Kharkiv regional prosecutor's office, two drones landed near the train, and a third struck directly into one of the carriages, causing a fire.
Currently, fragments of five deceased individuals have been found, and their identification will be carried out using DNA testing, as reported by the prosecutor's office.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky characterized the attack on the passenger train as "terrorism." In his message on Telegram, he emphasized that there can be no military objectives in the destruction of civilians on a train that had more than 200 people aboard. He noted that there were 18 people in the carriage hit by the drone, sharing a video of the aftermath of the attack.
Also, on the night of January 27, combined strikes from Russia left 80% of Kharkiv and the surrounding area without electricity. Oleg Synegubov, head of the Kharkiv regional military administration, reported that the strikes were carried out using the Tornado-S multiple rocket launcher system and Shahed drones.
It should be noted that Kharkiv was also shelled on January 24 and 26. The city's mayor, Igor Terekhov, reported damage to high-rise buildings, a maternity hospital, as well as educational institutions, including a school and a kindergarten.
