‘An evil without limits’: Dozens killed, injured in rocket strike on train station in eastern Ukraine: Live updates – USA TODAY

Thousands of people were waiting at a train station in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk on Friday when a rocket strike killed dozens, including children, and possibly injured hundreds more, Ukrainian officials said.

At least 39 people were killed and between 87 and 300 people were injured, regional governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said in a Telegram post. Ukrainian officials earlier estimated about 30 people had been killed in the attack.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, writing on social media, said thousands of people were present in the station at the time of the strike.

“The inhuman Russians are not changing their methods. Without the strength or courage to stand up to us on the battlefield, they are cynically destroying the civilian population,” the president said on social media. “This is an evil without limits. And if it is not punished, then it will never stop.”

The Russian Defense Ministry denied targeting the station in Kramatorsk, a city in part of the Donetsk region that is controlled by the Ukrainian government. The station was being used to evacuate civilians. On Friday, almost 4,000 civilians were at the station, according to Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s office, and children were also killed, Ukraine’s national police said.
