Ukraine and Poland on Sunday condemned Russian strikes near the Polish border as an “escalation” in the war. Drones hit a Warsaw-bound train and an area near a frontier checkpoint. Ukraine’s rail operator said former British prime minister Boris Johnson and former CIA director David Petraeus were at a nearby border station around the time of the strike.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that Russia could intensify its operations and potentially disrupt or destroy Ukrainian border crossings after drones struck a gas station near the Yahodyn crossing and a Kyiv–Warsaw passenger train. Two people were injured at the gas station; no one on the train was hurt. Tusk said Poland might seek NATO assistance if needed.
Top Western figures were at a Ukrainian railway station when a Russian drone struck a nearby train. Security measures had been tightened after an earlier attack on the same railway line.
A Russian drone struck the locomotive of a Kyiv–Warsaw train about 2 kilometers from the Polish border, with no passenger injuries reported. Russia also launched a large drone assault on western Ukraine, injuring at least five people in Volyn and causing power outages in neighboring Rivne. Ukraine said 453 drones and missiles were launched and most were intercepted.
A Russian strike hit the engine of a train near Ukraine’s border with Poland shortly after former UK prime minister Boris Johnson and senior European security officials travelled along the same line. No casualties were reported. Russia said it targeted railway infrastructure in western Ukraine, while Poland’s Donald Tusk said a Russian drone struck 800m from the border.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Moscow is now striking targets indiscriminately across Ukraine in response to Kyiv’s intensified attacks on Russian economic and strategic infrastructure. Russia has recently increased drone assaults, hitting energy facilities, gas stations and areas near the Polish border, while Ukraine has expanded strikes on Russian refineries and fuel depots.
A Russian drone struck a Kyiv-to-Warsaw passenger train two kilometres from the Polish border, with no casualties reported aboard.

At least one person has died and more than 100 remain missing after a ferry carrying 243 people sank in rough weather between Indonesia’s Java and Borneo islands. It is the region’s second major ferry accident in five days, renewing concerns about safety standards, overcrowding and maintenance.

President Donald Trump played down growing alarm about artificial-intelligence risks after some industry leaders urged a slower pace of technological development.
BBloomberg NewsOriginal★★★★☆2026-09-13 17:00
Donald Trump has dismissed warnings about artificial intelligence, saying “negative forces” are raising fears about events that will not happen. The comments follow dire predictions from a former Anthropic researcher and calls by industry leaders to slow development. Trump said the US is ahead of China in AI and wants to keep that lead, while critics argue any slowdown should be coordinated internationally.
Andy Miah, Chair in Science Communication and Future Media at the University of Salford, said AI presents real challenges that require closer coordination between companies and governments, but poses no existential threat to humanity. He added that clearer data and concrete figures would help the public understand the risks.
AI leaders warn that the technology is advancing faster than the ability to control it, while Donald Trump has called some concerns exaggerated. AI philosophy professor Raphaël Millière says a real-world security incident this summer shows the risks are no longer hypothetical, but not that AI will kill everyone. He says companies and governments should coordinate to manage the growing safety risks.
