<h1>Alleged indiscriminate, disproportionate drone strikes hitting civilians and infrastructure; forensic evidence and chain-of-custody crucial for accountability (Article 51)</h1> Russian drone strikes on a Ukrainian railway station and other infrastructure killed at least one civilian and injured dozens, with authorities reporting sequential strikes that hit rescuers and evacuating passengers; the attacks also damaged power and gas facilities and disrupted rail transport. Such attacks on civilians, civilian objects and the alleged use of 'double tap' strikes implicate potential violations of international humanitarian law, including prohibitions on indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks and the duty to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure. Attribution, forensic evidence, chain-of-custody, and documentation by independent investigators will be central to any criminal or state-responsibility proceedings.
