Rocket strike hits Kramatorsk railway station — but Russia denies carrying out the attack
Thousands of civilians were at the station trying to evacuate to safer areas of the country, according to the governor of the Donetsk region.
More than 30 people have been killed and over 100 wounded in a Russian rocket attack on a railway station in eastern Ukraine, according to local officials.
Thousands of civilians were at Kramatorsk railway station trying to evacuate to safer regions in the war-ravaged country, the governor of the Donetsk region said.
The Kremlin has denied that Russia carried out the strike, citing its defence ministry.
Moscow has claimed the type of missile used in the attack is only deployed by Ukraine’s military, adding that Ukrainian forces used it on a strike in the centre of Donetsk in March.
And Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Russian forces had no missions scheduled for Kramatorsk on Friday.
