A Russian drone struck a commuter electric train standing at a station platform in Sumy on the morning of 10 November, and no passengers or railway workers were injured. State railway operator Ukrzaliznytsia said the train crew was in a shelter and urged travelers to stay in shelters during air raid alerts. Sumy Regional Military Administration head Oleh Hryhorov confirmed the train was targeted and said no passengers were aboard. Sumy City Military Administration head Serhii Kryvosheienko said Russian forces used a Molniya drone and a fiber-optic FPV drone against the city that morning. One strike damaged a building in an industrial zone in the Kovpakivskyi district, and another hit the cab of a diesel locomotive at a railway station. Kyiv Post noted that the operator called the rail target a commuter electric train while the city called it a diesel locomotive cab, and that the announcements did not explain the difference or say which drone hit the train. Hryhorov warned that Russian forces were continuing to attack civilian transport and rail infrastructure across the region. Kyiv Post linked the strike to repeated attacks on passenger trains, including an October 29 drone strike on a Dnipro platform that killed 15 people, and reported that Finland agreed in October to donate 10 diesel locomotives to Ukrzaliznytsia.
