At least 13 people have been killed after a Russian drone hit a busy platform at the main train station in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, officials said.
State rail company Ukrzaliznytsia said on Thursday that a jet-powered drone hit the platform where a train was preparing to leave for the nearby city of Zaporizhzhia.
Regional Governor, Oleksandr Hanzha, said on Telegram that at least 14 others were injured and six were in critical condition, including an 11-year-old boy.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denounced the attack as “horrific.”
“Just how many terrorist strikes has Russia carried out against our people since sanctions were lifted on certain Russian oligarchs and the Russian energy sector, rather than de-escalating?” Zelenskyy wrote on X.
Russia also attacked Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-biggest city, damaging an educational institution, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said on Telegram.
Ukrainian authorities also reported overnight Russian strikes in multiple areas, including an attack in the Rivne region that killed one man.
Russian news agencies, citing the Ministry of Defense, reported that its forces struck a cargo vessel used by the Ukrainian military in the Black Sea.
