On the morning of November 10, a targeted strike by a Russian drone on a suburban electric train was recorded in the Sumy region. This was reported by Ukrzaliznytsia and the Regional Military Administration (RMA), citing RMA Head Oleg Grigorov. According to the carrier, at the moment of impact, the train was at the railway station platform, while the train crew was in a shelter.

### Targeted strike on a stationary train

As Ukrzaliznytsia specified, the drone hit the electric train while it was standing at the station platform. The agency emphasized that at the time of the strike, the train crew was in a shelter, so neither passengers nor railway workers were injured. The incident became part of ongoing attacks on civilian transport and railway infrastructure in the Sumy region.

### Employees and passengers unharmed

Ukrzaliznytsia separately noted the absence of casualties among passengers and railway employees. This is explained by the fact that during the air raid alert, the train crew was in a shelter rather than in the cabin or near the train. Nevertheless, the very fact of a targeted strike on a train standing on the platform indicates that civilian railway transport has once again become a target of attacks.

### Context of the night attack: 162 drones and an Iskander-M missile

The strike on the train occurred against the backdrop of a massive nighttime attack. On the night of November 10, Russia reportedly launched an Iskander-M missile and 162 drones at Ukraine. Air defense forces shot down or suppressed 135 drones, while impacts were recorded at 19 locations. Thus, the morning incident in Sumy became a continuation of the multi-vector attack that began during the night hours.

### Strike on Pereyaslav: evacuation of residents

Overnight, Russian troops also launched a strike on Pereyaslav in the Kyiv region. A municipal building where people requiring care lived was damaged. Two people were injured, and all residents of the building were evacuated. This episode adds to the picture of nighttime strikes on residential areas in various regions.

### Call to observe safety rules

The Regional Military Administration urged residents not to ignore air raid alerts and to follow the instructions of railway workers, emphasizing that people's safety is a priority. Passengers are also asked to stay in shelters during air raid alerts. The official appeal aims to reduce risks for people amid ongoing attacks on transport infrastructure.
