At least 14 people were killed and 14 others wounded when a Russian drone struck a crowded platform at the main railway station in Dnipro, central Ukraine, local officials said.
Dnipropetrovsk regional head Oleksandr Hanzha said the wounded included an 11-year-old boy. Ukraine’s state railway operator, Ukrzaliznytsia, said a passenger train bound for Zaporizhzhia was at the station when the drone hit. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said a commuter train and a passenger train were standing at the platform during the attack.
Railway operator chief Oleksandr Pertsovsky said an elevated threat level had been announced before the strike, but many people remained on the platform. Images released by Ukrainian emergency services showed a crater in the platform and a train with shattered windows. Medical officials reported that victims suffered multiple shrapnel wounds and that several underwent surgery.
Earlier reports put the death toll at 13 before officials raised it to at least 14. Russia’s military has not publicly commented on the attack. Moscow has repeatedly struck Ukraine’s railway network but denies deliberately targeting civilians.
Dnipro declared Friday a day of mourning. Zelensky called for additional sanctions on Russia following the strike.
