The United Nations condemned the air attack that targeted a train at the railway station in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday morning, resulting in numerous civilian casualties. Shireen Akram, Assistant Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, confirmed that initial information from Ukrainian authorities indicates that at least 13 people were killed and ten others injured in the attack on a train traveling between Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro.
For his part, the UN Coordinator for Humanitarian Affairs in Ukraine, Matthias Schmale, confirmed the increasing risks faced by passengers and railway sector workers due to continuous attacks. The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) noted that the number of victims could rise as emergency teams continue their response, pointing to reports of dozens of civilian casualties, including children, from attacks in various Ukrainian regions.
The Office added that targeting energy infrastructure caused power outages in Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Sumy regions, while emergency outages continued in Kyiv and its surroundings due to previous attacks. It also warned of worsening humanitarian conditions as winter approaches, explaining that millions of the most vulnerable face increasing risks due to the disruption of essential services.
An analysis by the International Organization for Migration indicated that millions of elderly people and persons with disabilities living alone may face significant challenges during periods of electricity, heating, and water outages. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Thursday that approximately 13 people were killed and ten others injured by a Russian strike targeting the "Zaliznychnyi" railway station in the Dnipro region of central Ukraine.
