Russian attack on railway station in eastern Ukraine leaves dozens dead, officials say

Russian troops attacked a packed railway station in eastern Ukraine Friday morning and dozens were feared dead. 

At least 39 people were killed, according to the regional governor. More than 100 were also hurt in the attack, Ukraine's Ministry of Defense said. 

"Russians carried out two missile strikes on railway station in Kramatorsk, where evacuation of civilians was taking place," the ministry tweeted. "But Russian war criminals not only deliberately targeted thousands of people; they've used cluster munitions."

The station was being used to evacuate civilians. 

"Thousands of people were at the station during the missile strike, as residents of Donetsk region are being evacuated to safer regions of Ukraine," Pavlo Kyrylenko, governor of the Donetsk region, said on Telegram, confirming the number of dead, according to the New York Times.
