Ukrainian saboteurs launch huge attack on Russian train with 'no one left alive'

Ukrainian forces behind Russian lines in Zaporizhzhia have launched a major attack, destroying a fuel train, according to pro-Ukrainian sources. The Head of the Centre for the Study of Occupation, Petro Andryushchenko, said: "Nothing alive was left. Who asked why the Russians were hauling fuel and cars at night? That's why. To avoid such losses. It didn't work. A unique operation by the Defence Forces of Ukraine."

Images shared to Telegram show the huge train burning in several places. There has been no official comment from Ukraine or Russia as is stands. The logistics train was reportedly derailed in the attack which was carried out between Urozhayny and Tokmak in Ukraine's south.

It is not clear how the attack was launched.

Ukraine has had several successes in operations deep behind enemy lines, most notably in June when more than 100 Ukrainian drones struck air bases deep inside Russia.

The daring operation, dubbed Spider's Web, took more than 18 months to plan, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

This latest attack comes a day after Russian missile strikes killed three and injured 20 in Zaporizhzhia City.

Russian forces control significant areas of Zaporizhzhia and Vladimir Putin reportedly told Donald Trump he is prepared to freeze the frontline there and in Kherson, in exchange for Ukraine withdrawing from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions that make up the Donbas.

The two leaders met for talks in Alaska on Friday which Mr Trump described as "productive" but no deal was reached on ending the war.
