Russia launched a new wave of drone attacks against Ukraine, hitting civilian and logistics infrastructure in the Volhynia region, in the west of the country, a few kilometers from the border with Poland. Among the targets were a service station and a passenger train.
One of the drones hit a fuel station near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk border crossing, an important passage between Ukraine and Poland. The attack caused a fire, but caused no casualties.
Ukrainian authorities stated that trains operating in the region were not directly affected. However, the attack represents a significant escalation, as the infrastructure hit is very close to the territory of the European Union and NATO.
The article states that this type of attack "is knocking at the door" of the EU and NATO, suggesting that the proximity of the targets to the Polish border represents a significant escalation in tension between Russia and Western countries.
