A Russian drone attack on a railway station in the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro has killed at least 14 people.
A jet-powered Russian drone struck a platform at Dnipro's main railway station where a commuter train was preparing to depart for Zaporizhzhia, killing at least 14 people according to local authorities. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy posted images showing bodies on the ground as rescuers moved the wounded away on stretchers.
Separate attacks on Thursday killed five more civilians across Ukraine. Two teenagers were killed on a street in Chernihiv in northern Ukraine, with 23 others wounded. Three people died in a strike on an apartment building in Kremenchuk, with 15 wounded. One person was killed in the capital Kyiv by Russian ballistic missiles.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Sergiy Koretskyi said on Telegram: 'Russia is deliberately hunting civilians: on trains, at stations, in residential buildings. There is no justification for this terror, and there never can be.' Dmytro Bryzhynskyi, head of Chernihiv's military administration, said ordinary people 'were just going to work, going about their daily business, making plans for the day' when attacked.
The strikes occurred as a six-day humanitarian truce in southern Ukraine's Kherson region, brokered with US help, began. Russia made clear the truce applied only to that region to enable relief supplies to reach the Russian-held town of Oleshky.
