Around 50 people, including five children, were killed on Friday in an attack on a railway station in eastern Ukraine, the Kiev-appointed authorities claim in their latest statement. Both Russia and Ukraine have been trading accusations about the deadly incident

On Friday morning, a rocket hit the railway station in Kramatorsk where thousands of people were waiting for evacuation trains ahead of the expected large-scale military action in Donbass. In a Telegram post on Friday afternoon, the head of the Kiev-appointed Donetsk Region administration, Pavel Kirilenko, revealed the revised numbers of injured and dead, which have been confirmed by both sides of the conflict.

“Fifty deaths, five of them children. We have such a large number of victims at this hour as a result of the attack of the Russian occupation forces’ Tochka U missile on the Kramatorsk railway station. At that moment, 98 people were taken to hospitals. We expect that other victims will seek medical help within one or two days, so the number of victims will be constantly changing,” Kirilenko, who initially claimed that the strike was carried out with an Iskander missile, wrote.
