   Russian Drone Strike Kills 14 at Dnipro Train Station

   A jet-powered Russian drone struck a crowded platform and two trains at the main railway station in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro, killing at least 14 people and wounding 14 others, including an 11-year-old boy. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the strike as horrific, while European officials expressed outrage. Meanwhile, a local truce in Oleshky credited to Melania Trump has entered its third day, providing a measure of hope amid the ongoing conflict. Ukraine has convened an emergency United Nations Security Council meeting following the wider strikes that killed at least 20 people overall.

   Why it matters

   The attack on the Dnipro rail hub highlights the persistent danger faced by Ukraine's railway workers and passengers as trains continue to operate despite relentless aerial bombardment. The escalation in Russian strikes has plunged cities into darkness and driven Kyiv to demand international intervention through the United Nations. Concurrently, localized diplomatic efforts such as the Oleshky ceasefire offer a rare counterpoint to the intensifying violence.
