Ukrainian officials said dozens were killed as Russian troops shelled people waiting at a railway station for special evacuation trains out of the Donetsk region ahead of expected heavy fighting there.
Tetyana Ignachenko, a regional spokeswoman, said Ukrainian railways were using the station in Kramatorsk to evacuate civilians. A rescue operation is under way, she said. Thousands of people were gathered there Friday morning.
Fifty people, including five children, were killed, Donetsk region governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said on Telegram. That includes 38 who perished on the spot and 12 who died later in hospitals. About 100 others were admitted to hospital, including 16 children. Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said Russia used cluster munitions for the strike. Russia’s Defense Ministry denied responsibility, saying the type of missile found on the scene is used only by Ukrainian forces, Interfax reported.
