A Russian drone struck a passenger platform at Dnipro railway station on the morning of Oct. 29, and Ukrainian officials later reported a separate missile strike in Chernihiv that they said killed two 15-year-old girls, as a limited ceasefire around occupied Oleshky in Kherson region continued1,2,4,12.
Regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha said the Dnipro strike killed at least 15 people and injured at least 14, figures that rose from earlier reports of 13 dead4,13,14.
Ukrainian Railways said a passenger train preparing to leave for Zaporizhzhia was on the platform; Meduza identified it as train No. 8664,13,14.
Ukraine's Air Force said four jet-powered drones targeted Dnipro around 11 a.m. local time and that air defenses shot down three of them4.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said on social media that a drone had hit a platform where a commuter train and a regular passenger train were standing4,12.
RTE News, citing the regional governor, said the Dnipro station death toll rose to 14, with 14 wounded, six in severe condition12.
Africanews and Euronews, citing the Chernihiv local military administration, said a Banderol cruise missile struck the city, killing two 15-year-old girls and injuring 25 people and damaging homes, businesses and vehicles1,2.
The Kyiv Independent, citing Ukrainian authorities, put nationwide deaths from Russian attacks over about a day at 27 and injuries at 128, with the Dnipro station strike accounting for the largest share4.
The same outlet said Russia launched ballistic missiles, four guided aerial missiles and 113 Shahed-type drones overnight into Oct. 304.
Separately, Ukrainian and Russian human rights ombudsmen said a U.S.-brokered local truce around Oleshky had passed more than 30 hours without an incident, and RTE reported both sides said demining of humanitarian routes was complete and an aid convoy was ready1,2,12.
