On the morning of October 29, a jet-powered drone struck a commuter train and a passenger train at a platform in Dnipro railway station, killing 14 people and injuring another 14.
Thirteen of the injured were hospitalized, six in serious condition. Among them was an 11-year-old boy. All sustained multiple shrapnel wounds.
As the UOJ previously reported, the Nizhyn Eparchy had launched a fundraiser to help victims of an attack in Pryluky.
