Summary

Ukrainian Railways raised the threat level across the national rail network after the Dnipro strike.
More than 5,800 train journeys were evacuated in September because of drone threats.
Medical teams treated dozens of victims, including a 40-year-old man who lost both legs and an 11-year-old boy critically injured.
The attack adds to a railway-targeting pattern since 2022 and forces Ukraine to divert resources to security and evacuations.
