Polish PM Tusk confirms gas station drone strike, denies train and truck attacks
Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Polish authorities verified a drone hit a gas station near the border but could not confirm reports of attacks on a Kyiv-Warsaw passenger train or a convoy of trucks.
During an emergency meeting with security officials, Prime Minister Donald Tusk acknowledged that a Russian drone struck a gasoline station or the area around it close to the Polish border. He stated that Polish intelligence has not confirmed the alleged hit on the locomotive of the Kyiv-Warsaw passenger train reported to have occurred in the Volyn region, nor the reported attack on a convoy of trucks near the Dorohusk-Jagodzin crossing.
Earlier media coverage suggested the train was hit about two kilometres from the border, with the crew warned and no injuries, but officials could not verify it. Tusk added that temporary suspension of traffic at the Dorohusk crossing was unrelated to a confirmed drone strike. He also rejected claims that any aerial object entered Polish airspace from the Ukrainian side. The only verified incident remains the gas-station attack.
