A Russian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) carried out a brutal attack on a passenger train traveling on the Lozovaya - Kharkov route. The attack took place at Limanovka station.
Thanks to a timely response and an activated air alarm, the train was stopped in advance, and the evacuation of passengers began immediately. Most of the people and the train crew managed to move to a safe distance. However, some of the passengers remained in close proximity to the carriages, which led to fatal consequences in the subsequent explosion.
Casualty and injured data:
Dead: Two women lost their lives. One of the passengers died at the scene, and a second (a 34-year-old woman with 90% burns) died later in hospital. Injured: Five people were injured and hospitalized. Among them is an 11-year-old girl - the daughter of the woman who died in the hospital. The child is in critical condition with serious burns. Second strike: About thirty minutes after the first explosion, the Russian army carried out a second strike on the same train, while rescue teams were already working at the scene. There were no additional casualties in the second attack.The information about the attack was officially confirmed by the Minister of Reconstruction, Infrastructure and Transport of Ukraine Mykola Kalashnik and the Mayor of Lozovaya Serhiy Zelensky (source: Украинская правда – hххps://pravda.com.ua/rus/news/2026/08/23/8049942/ and Meduza – hххps://meduza.io/news/2026/08/23/rossiyskie-voyska-nanesli-udar-po-elektrichke-v-harkovskoy-oblasti-dva-cheloveka-pogibli-pyat-raneny).
Economic terror: A plant of the American giant Mondelez was hit
Russian drones in Sumy region suicide bombers attacked a civilian industrial facility in the city of Trostyanets. The facility is a factory owned by the famous American transnational corporation Mondelez International, which produces world-famous brands such as Milka, Oreo, Toblerone, Tuc and Barny.
Two Russian drones struck the administrative and production buildings of the enterprise. Serious material damage was caused. Five employees of the plant - two men and three women - received varying degrees of injuries and cuts from broken glass. Fortunately, there were no fatalities.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga described the attack as a “deliberate and systematic attack on American economic interests in Europe” and called on international partners for stricter sanctions and strengthening of Ukrainian air defense (source: RBC-Ukraine – hххps://www.rbc.ua/rus/news/rosiya-vdarila-amerikanskomu-zavodu-mondelez-1787502334.html). This is another attack on the same plant, which was already the subject of shelling earlier this year.
Fire response from the SBS: Destroyed fighter jets and 8 Russian radars
Against the backdrop of Russian strikes against civilian objects, the Unmanned Systems Forces of Ukraine conducted an extremely successful and large-scale operation. SBS Commander Robert Brovdy, better known by his military calling card and codename "Magyar", announced details of coordinated strikes on a total of 14 military targets of the Russian Federation. Eleven of them were hit on Russian territory (Rostov Oblast and Krasnodar Krai), and three – in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
Равносметката от въздушната операция на СБС:
Военна авиация: В района на Витязево (Краснодарски край) украинските дронове са унищожили два руски истребителя – палубен изтребител Су-33 и многоцелеви МиГ-29. На същото място е свален и модерен руски ударно-разузнавателен БПЛА "Орион". Радиолокационни станции (РЛС): Поразени са общо 8 ключови комплекса за радиолокация и противовъздушна отбрана, с което сериозно е компрометирано радарното покритие на окупаторите. Сред тях изпъкват две станции „Небо-У“ (в Ростовска област и Севастопол), две „Каста 2Е2“, две високотехнологични РЛС „Подльот“, както и системите „36Д6М“ и „СТ-68“. Противовъздушна отбрана: Допълнително е поразена активна позиция на зенитно-ракетен дивизион С-400 в Геленджик (която е горяла над 3 часа), както и комплекси "Тор" в Ростовска област и "Панцирь-С1" в град Ейск.Според Роберт Бровди, операциите по методичното изолиране и унищожаване на руската ПВО и авиационна инфраструктура ще продължат с нарастващ интензитет (източник: Цензор.НЕТ / РБК-Украина – hххps://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/droni-sbs-vpolyuvali-tri-odinitsi-rosiyskoyi-1787486567.html).
