A Russian air attack on a railway station in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro has killed 13 people, according to reports on the strike. The attack targeted a rail facility in the city, which lies in central Ukraine, and it is one of the deadliest incidents reported against civilian transport infrastructure in the region in recent times.
The Ukrainian Emergency Service released a photograph following the air attack on the station, which was carried out on Thursday. The image documents the aftermath at the site and was circulated as part of the official emergency response. Rescue and recovery operations at the station have been the focus of emergency teams, and the figure of 13 dead is the toll reported so far.
Railway stations have been a recurring concern for Ukrainian authorities throughout the conflict, as rail lines are a vital route for moving people, goods and military supplies across the country. Attacks on transport hubs place large numbers of ordinary travellers at risk, and they have repeatedly drawn condemnation from Kyiv and its partners abroad.
At this stage, the number of injured, the precise sequence of the strike and any official statements from Russian authorities have not been confirmed in the material available to this newsroom. Readers should treat the casualty figure as the initial official account and expect further updates as emergency services complete their work at the scene.
