A Russian jet-powered drone struck a crowded platform at Dnipro’s main railway station on 25 October, killing at least 14 people and wounding numerous others, officials said. The attack came after a series of drone strikes earlier in the week.

Ukrainian-operated drones hit targets in Russia’s Belgorod, Lipetsk and Perm regions, killing five people and damaging facilities, according to officials. A separate drone strike in Voronezh on 24 October killed two people and injured 17, while a freight-train derailment in the Sverdlovsk region caused fires but no casualties.
