Former CIA director was at the railway station where a Russian drone hit a passenger convoy

CNN Portugal14 September 2026 at 07:52

A former CIA director was at the railway station when a Russian drone hit a passenger convoy in the Kharkiv region, in Ukraine. The authorities admitted it was a deliberate attack.

The attack occurred shortly after other figures had also passed through the same location, including former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The incident raises questions about the security of travel routes and the possible intention behind the attack.

The authorities did not formally identify the former CIA director mentioned in the news, nor did they provide additional details about their identity or the purpose of their visit to the region at that time.

Why this matters

This attack demonstrates that Russia continues to target civilians and transport infrastructure in Ukraine, endangering both the local population and international personalities visiting the war zone. The presence of Western political figures at the location raises questions about security and possible deliberate targets.
