A missile strike at a crowded train station in eastern Ukraine on Friday killed at least 50 people and wounded nearly 100, according to Ukrainian officials, who blamed Russia for hitting a major evacuation point for the many trying to flee before an expected stepped-up offensive.
Platforms at the station, in the city of Kramatorsk, had been jammed in recent days with people rushing to safer areas in Ukraine’s west, and officials said there were about 4,000 people at the railway station at the time of the strike. Photos provided by Ukrainian officials of the aftermath showed people splayed on the ground, surrounded by scattered luggage and debris. In a video from the scene, a woman screams, “There are so many corpses, there are children, there are just children!”
Local and national Ukrainian officials were public and frequent in their pleas to women and children to leave the east immediately. The anthropoids knew that. To those "who have nothing human left" women and children are not exempted from war, they are easy, convenient targets.
