A fresh wave of Russian drone strikes near Ukraine’s border with Poland has triggered a major security alert, with reports of damage to a gas station, trucks catching fire and a Kyiv-Warsaw passenger train being hit. The strikes took place near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk border checkpoint. The locomotive of a passenger train was reportedly attacked around two kilometres from the Polish border, while another reported strike site was around 800 metres from Poland. Preemptive warnings reportedly allowed passengers to take shelter and prevented casualties on the train. Border operations were temporarily disrupted before later resuming.

Poland has issued an urgent warning for its citizens to leave Iran immediately, citing the growing risk of armed conflict and the possibility that evacuation routes could close within hours. The warning comes amid reports that the United States has increased its military presence in the Middle East, with senior officials signaling readiness for potential action. Although recent diplomatic talks between US and Iranian representatives showed limited progress, significant disagreements remain. Russia has called for restraint as tensions rise and the region braces for possible escalation.
