THIS is the moment Ukrainian drones turned a Russian war train into a raging fireball — in a daring strike caught on dramatic aerial footage.

A video released by Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence (DIU) depicts a train loaded with fuel bursting into flames as it moves through the occupied region of Zaporizhzhia.

The footage, named “Railway Rumble,” showcases an accurate attack with drones carrying explosives honing in on their moving target, resulting in multiple incendiary explosions that consume at least three tankers in a massive blaze.

In a striking scene, the train travels along the Verkhnii Tokmak–Molochansk–Fedorivka railway, where drones strike with precision, igniting a fireball that tears through the train cars.

Pravda reports the daring op was carried out by elite GUR (military intelligence) drone operators in an occupied area of southern Ukraine on May 24.

“Spectacular footage of a combat operation in the temporarily occupied territory of Zaporizhia region,” Ukraine’s DIU said.

“On May 24, 2025, the masters of strike UAVs… tracked down and hunted down a train of Russian invaders with fuel.”

The mission destroyed a key logistics lifeline supplying Vladimir Putin’s forces in Zaporizhzhia and annexed Crimea, Ukrainian officials said.

“The railway supply of Russian occupation forces… has been disrupted,” DIU added.

“The armed struggle, aimed at hindering and paralyzing the military logistics of the Muscovites, continues.”

Fans flooded the DIU’s Facebook page with praise.

One wrote: “Thank you for your work. Take revenge for every dead person in Ukraine.”

Another added: “Glory to the heroes! Boundless gratitude, love and respect to you, our Warriors of Light!”

A third said simply: “Beautiful, very beautiful… Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine!”

The strike came just hours after Putin unleashed his most brutal air assault of the war — killing 13 people including three siblings, aged just 8, 12 and 17.

In the early hours of Friday, Russia launched 367 drones and missiles in a wave of attacks across Ukraine — the biggest aerial bombardment since the 2022 invasion.

NATO scrambled fighter jets while emergency responders battled fires in Kyiv and other cities as explosions rocked the nation through the night.

The three children, Roman, Tamara and Stanislav Martyniuk, were killed alongside their injured mum when strikes hit the Zhytomyr region west of the capital.

Their devastated school, Korostyshiv Lyceum No. 1, said: “Year 11 student Roman, Year 6 student Tamara and Year 3 student Stanislav – will no longer come to their classrooms, sit at their desks or smile at their friends. The war has cut their lives short.”

At least four more were killed and 26 injured in Kyiv.

Ukraine’s Air Force spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat said: “It was the most massive strike in terms of the number of air attack weapons on the territory of Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.”

President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the massacre as a “terrorist strike” and called for new sanctions.

“Each such terrorist Russian strike is a sufficient reason for new sanctions against Russia,” he said.

“Russia is dragging out this war and continues to kill every day.”

The fresh blitz came as both sides began a rare prisoner exchange, with 697 soldiers freed in total across two days — part of a 1,000-person deal agreed during Istanbul peace talks earlier this month.

Despite hints of diplomacy, Moscow has continued its offensive — and Ukrainian forces, in turn, are fighting back hard.
