Russian drone strike on Dnipro rail platform leaves 14 dead

A Russian drone struck a crowded platform at Dnipro railway station in eastern Ukraine on Thursday, 29 Oct, killing at least 14 people, according to Ukrainian authorities. Thirteen to fourteen others were wounded, several seriously, including a child. Ukraine's air force said it intercepted three drones in the daytime attack, but a fourth evaded defences and hit the station. The platform held a commuter train and a passenger train bound for Zaporizhzhia. The strike came while a fragile ceasefire in the occupied city of Oleshky was in its third day.

Oleshky truce passes three days with no reported breaches

A US-brokered local ceasefire in Oleshky, a Russian-occupied city in Ukraine's Kherson region, has entered its third day with no reported violations, both Kyiv and Moscow say. The truce began at 3 am local time on 27 Oct and runs until 10.59 pm on Sunday, 1 Nov, according to Ukraine's human rights commissioner Dmytro Lubinets. It allows aid into the city, where about 2,000 residents lack food, water and medicine, and lets those who wish to leave evacuate safely, US First Lady Melania Trump has said.
