On September 13, Russian forces launched drone strikes just kilometers from the Ukrainian-Polish border, hitting a gas station and a passenger train locomotive near the Yahodyn crossing. The train, part of the Kyiv-Warsaw rail service, was reportedly carrying Western political officials at the time of the strike, raising alarm about the proximity of Russian attacks to NATO territory. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said the strike on the passenger train shows the desperation of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Separately, Polish authorities said they found a Russian drone that had washed up on a Baltic Sea beach near Jarosławiec, according to Poland's Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, underscoring recurring incursions of Russian drones into Polish territory amid the war.
