Russian strike hits passenger train in Ukraine, causing casualties

KYIV, Oct 4 (Reuters) – A Russian strike hit a passenger train in Ukraine's northern Sumy region causing casualties among the passengers, regional governor Oleh Hryhorov said on Saturday. Hryhorov said the Russian attack had targeted a railway station, and that a train heading to Kyiv had been hit. No figure was given for the number of casualties, but the governor posted a picture of a burning passenger carriage and said medics and rescuers were working on the scene. Moscow has stepped up its air strike campaign on Ukraine's railway infrastructure, hitting it almost every day over the last two months. (Reporting by Max Hunder; Editing by Alexandra Hudson)
