A tragic explosion at the Ovruch railway station in northern Ukraine on Friday resulted in the deaths of four individuals and left 12 others wounded. The incident occurred during a routine document check on a platform adjacent to a train. Among the victims were three women—a border guard and two civilians—while the perpetrator, a 23-year-old man, succumbed to injuries sustained during the blast while being treated in an ambulance. The Ukrainian border guard service confirmed the explosion was carried out by the man in a controlled border area. Although Ukrainian media reported the use of a grenade, the interior ministry has yet to confirm the type of explosive device. The man had previously been detained for attempting to illegally cross the state border in western Ukraine. Rescue operations were swiftly carried out, as depicted in images shared by the border guard service on Telegram, showing emergency personnel aiding the injured on the platform.
