British Defense Minister narrowly escaped being bombed by Russian missile, train made emergency stop and sounded alarm, Russian forces no longer hold back!
According to the Sun, citing multiple sources, in early 2026, UK Defence Secretary John Healy was on a train heading to Kyiv in Ukraine when he faced a threat from a Russian "Hickory" hypersonic missile. The train had to make an emergency stop, and air raid alarms were immediately sounded. This was a real event near Lviv.
Britain has always been one of the most active countries in Western military aid to Ukraine. Healy himself has visited Ukraine multiple times, not only coordinating weapons delivery but also publicly stating support for Ukraine's "self-defense with all necessary means." Just a day before this incident, he shocked the public during an interview, saying he would not oppose "actions similar to those that Maduro once experienced." Although he did not name Putin, the implication was obvious.
This statement quickly triggered a strong reaction from Russia. Russian spokesperson Zarikova directly called him a "perverted wet fantasy," full of tension.
Then, Russia's retaliation came. When Healy's train approached Lviv, the local air defense system detected a "Hickory" missile flying toward the area. This new hypersonic missile is deployed by the Russian Strategic Rocket Forces, with a speed exceeding 10 Mach, possessing strong penetration capabilities, and can carry conventional or nuclear warheads. Due to the extremely short warning time, the train dispatch center immediately ordered an emergency stop and evacuated passengers to shelters. Healy himself later admitted, "At the moment I heard the air raid alarm, the situation was very tense."
Previously, Russia had been relatively tolerant of NATO high-level personnel, trying to avoid direct harm to them. But now it seems Russia's attitude has changed.
