Two Russian rockets hit railway station in Kramatorsk in east Ukraine used by evacuees
The Anews reported, citing Reuters, Ukraine's state railway company said on Friday (Apr 8) that two Russian rockets have struck a railway station in Kramatorsk in eastern Ukraine, causing casualties.
Mayor Oleksander Honcharenko said that about 4,000 people, most of them elderly, women and children, were at a railway station in Kramatorsk in east Ukraine when it was hit by Russian rockets.
The state railway company said, more than 35 people were killed and over 100 were wounded in a Russian rocket strike as civilians tried to evacuate to safer parts of the country.
According to the head of Ukrainian Railways, three trains carrying evacuees were blocked in the same region of Ukraine on Thursday after an air strike on the line.
Ukrainian officials say Russian forces have been regrouping for a new offensive, and that Moscow plans to seize as much territory as it can in the eastern part of Ukraine known as Donbas bordering Russia.
Local authorities in some areas have been urging civilians to leave the while it is still possible and relatively safe to do so.
