Russia hits Ukrainian-Polish border area, Kyiv says

KYIV, Sept 13 (Reuters) - ‌A Russian ​drone ​struck near the Ukrainian-Polish border in the small town of Yahodyn overnight, Ukraine’s ‌Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on Sunday.

The ⁠minister corrected his earlier statement saying the drone struck on ‌the border crossing at ‌Yahodyn.

"Russia's barbaric strikes at the Ukraine-Poland border in Yahodyn are not just a continuation of ​its attacks on our state borders," Sybiha said on X.

"This is Putin's terror "knocking" directly on ⁠the doors of the EU and NATO. Russian barbarians are at ​your gate, dear partners," he added.

Polish border guard spokeswoman told Reuters that the ​site of the attack was ‌800 metres (less than a mile) from the Polish border, and the border crossing ⁠was temporarily closed during the attack.

In a separate statement, Ukrainian Railways, Ukrzaliznytsia, said that in another region ⁠bordering Poland, Volyn, a drone attacked the locomotive of a ​passenger train just 2 km (1.2 miles) from the Polish border.

The company said no one was injured.

Ukraine operates several ‌border crossings with Poland, through which a significant proportion of the military and ‌humanitarian aid from its allies is delivered to ⁠the country.
