Ukrainian officials said a Russian drone hit a crowded railway platform in Dnipro on Thursday, killing at least 14 people, and attacks elsewhere in Ukraine killed five more.
Ukraine’s state railway company said the drone hit the city’s main station as a passenger train was preparing to leave for Zaporizhzhia. Officials said 14 people were wounded in Dnipro, including an 11-year-old boy. Six were in serious condition.
Images released by Ukrainian authorities showed damaged trains and rescuers carrying injured people from the platform. The wider daytime attacks killed two teenage girls in Chernihiv and three people in Kremenchuk. This brought the reported death toll in the three cities to at least 19.
Officials said 23 people were wounded in Chernihiv. A strike on an apartment building in Kremenchuk also injured people. Ukrainian Prime Minister Sergiy Koretskyi accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilians.
The Dnipro strike came while a limited humanitarian truce was in effect around the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky in the Kherson region.
