Near miss in Ukraine: Former PM Boris Johnson escapes Russian drone attack on train

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson reportedly survived a Russian drone strike while traveling on a train in Ukraine. According to reports, he was abruptly evacuated during a Russian strike alert near the Polish border.

Johnson’s train halted around 5 am because of nearby drone attacks and occupants of part of the train were temporarily evacuated.

Boris Johnson, German Chancellor Merz’s top security adviser, and security advisers from UK, France, and Italy were all on a chartered night train from Kyiv when a Russian drone hit the locomotive of a passenger train on the same route near the Polish border.

Their train was stopped and partially evacuated at 5am before an all-clear.

They were returning from the YES security conference in Kyiv.

Polish jets scrambled, sirens sounded on the Polish side.
