Kyiv: On April 8, Ukraine said dozens of people died and many more were wounded in a rocket strike at a railway station. The site was packed with civilians escaping fighting and a threat of a major Russian offensive in the country’s east. Pavlo Kyrylenko, governor of the Donetsk region where the Kramatorsk station is located, said at least 39 people were killed and 87 wounded, with many in serious condition, in a deliberate attack by Russian forces. “They wanted to sow panic and fear, they wanted to take as many civilians as possible,” he said.
