> Russian drone attacks on Ukrainian passenger trains are intensifying, forcing repeated evacuations and causing delays far from the eastern front. Ukrzaliznytsia says 5,831 trains were evacuated in September alone, while nearly 60% of the 521 locomotives hit since the full-scale invasion were struck this year. Russia’s defence ministry denies targeting civilians.
