The Story in Brief
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a Russian drone struck a passenger train in the Odesa region on Thursday, killing the locomotive driver and his assistant. The train carried 340 people, he claimed on X. The allegations have not been independently verified. Separately, Ukraine’s General Staff said its drones hit the Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat oil refining complex in Russia’s Bashkortostan, causing a fire. The governor confirmed two civilian injuries. The attack was the fourth major Ukrainian strike on Russian energy infrastructure in three days, according to AP.
The Indian Opinion
Both Russia and Ukraine routinely accuse each other of targeting civilians. Without independent verification, each claim serves as a propaganda tool. The test will be whether either side allows neutral observers, such as the Red Cross, to investigate such incidents and report findings transparently.
