Fourteen people were killed and at least 14 injured in a drone strike on a railway platform in Dnipro on 29 October, according to a Ukrainian Interior Ministry statement published at 14:30 local time, the same as Athens.

The ministry attributes the strike to Russian forces and says people were waiting for a train. Police and rescuers evacuated casualties and handed them to medical personnel.

The 14-death toll also appears in an accessible Reuters report. Citing state railway operator Ukrzaliznytsia, the agency says a jet-powered drone struck a platform near a commuter train bound for Zaporizhzhia.

New figures and separate attacks

Initial reports of 13 deaths have been revised. The toll remains provisional and is not presented as a final investigation finding.

The same ministry statement records two children killed and 23 people injured in Chernihiv, and three killed and 15 injured in Kremenchuk. These are separate attacks; their figures are not added to the railway station toll.

Ukrainian descriptions of deliberate targeting of civilians are attributed to the authorities. Reuters notes Moscow’s denial that it deliberately targets civilians; that is not a specific Russian response or an independent finding about this strike.
