Kiev. During the BRICS Summit in India, a strategy was being prepared to stop the Russia-Ukraine War. On the other hand, many international leaders, including former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, narrowly escaped the Russian drone attack. According to information, a train was targeted by a drone near the Ukraine-Poland border. A little ahead of this, there was another train in which many big leaders including former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, former Sweden Prime Minister Carl Bildt were present. This train was also evacuated immediately after the incident.

All these people were heading towards Poland after attending a security conference in Kiev. According to local time, a drone alert was issued at 5 am.

The train left before the scheduled time

A diplomatic train carrying former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt and security advisers from several EU countries deliberately departed from Yahodyn station ahead of schedule, according to Ukraine's state rail operator.

“It is quite likely that the actual target of the Russian drone was the diplomatic train, which had departed the station ahead of schedule,” the rail operator said in a post on Telegram. Former Swedish Prime Minister Bildt shared a video of the attack on 'X' at the Yahodin station located near the Yahodin-Doruhusk border post.

Another train, carrying former CIA director David Petraeus, was also at Yahodyn station at the time of the drone attack, according to Ukraine's state rail operator. There is no immediate report of any casualty in any train.

A day earlier, Russia had attacked the town of Yahodin near the border with Poland, after which a petrol pump caught fire. Ukrainian officials said Russia has stepped up airstrikes across the country. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiha wrote on

Ukrainian broadcaster Suspilne reported that debris from the attack set the petrol station building and several trucks parked nearby on fire. Because of this, the transit border was closed for some time, but operations have been restored to normal by 10 am today local time.
