Russian Drone Attacks Kill Rail Worker, Injure Dozens Across Eastern Ukraine

Russian forces launched a massive drone and missile attack on the city of Lozova in Ukraine's Kharkiv region, resulting in the death of one railway mechanic and injuries to several others, including children. The assault involved over 30 Geran-2 kamikaze drones targeting critical railway infrastructure, causing significant damage, fires, and disruption to train services. Emergency responders deployed extensive resources to contain fires and assess the destruction, which also affected residential buildings and energy facilities. Officials described the strike as the most severe since the full-scale war began, highlighting the extensive damage to transport infrastructure, administrative buildings, and warehouses. Despite many residents taking shelter in time, casualties included railway workers and civilians, with ongoing medical care provided to the injured. The attack reflects a continued pattern of Russian strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure and civilian areas, contributing to broader regional instability.
