Russia struck a stationary Ukrainian locomotive near the Polish border shortly after former UK prime minister Boris Johnson and senior European officials had passed through the area.

Johnson said the attack happened after he and other senior European figures had travelled through the location. The supplied information does not identify the European officials involved or state whether anyone was injured.

The former prime minister criticised the strike, saying: “I don't know what warped logic drove Putin to blow up a stationary Ukrainian locomotive on the Polish border this morning”.

The incident was described as a Russian strike on a train close to the border with Poland. No further details were provided about the precise location, the extent of damage, or the operational status of the train after the attack.

The latest known position is that the strike occurred shortly after Johnson and senior European officials had passed through, with Johnson publicly attributing responsibility to Russia and condemning the action.
