KYIV/MOSCOW – A Russian drone hit a passenger train on Ukraine’s border with NATO member Poland on Sunday, shortly after former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and other European diplomats had used the same line.

The train, on a route frequently used by foreign delegations returning from Kyiv, was attacked just 2 kilometers from the Polish border, Ukraine’s railway operator said.

No casualties were reported.
