Police and rescue workers on site report dozens of dead and injured.

Two missiles of invaders hit the railway station of Kramatorsk, Donetsk region, as a result of which 30 dead are known, more than 100 people were injured.

This was announced by the Chairman of the Board of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" Oleksandr Kamyshin.

"This is a targeted blow to the passenger infrastructure of the railway and the inhabitants of the city of Kramatorsk," he said.

Meanwhile, the head of the Donetsk OVA, Pavel Kirilenko, said that the occupiers had hit the station with a cluster Iskander.

"Police and rescuers working on the spot report dozens of dead and injured people," Kirilenko said.

Thousands of people were at the station during the missile strike, as residents of Donbass are being evacuated to safer areas.

"The rashists knew well where they were aiming and what they wanted: they want to sow panic and fear and take as many civilians as hostages as possible. The Russian Federation is a country of monsters and criminals. Evil must be stopped!" he stressed.

Kramatorsk hospitals are unable to cope with the number of wounded arriving from the station after the missile strike.

"Many people are heavily injured, without arms and legs. 30-40 surgeons operate on them simultaneously," Kramatorsk Mayor Oleksandr Honcharenko said on a telethon.

He said that the wreckage of the rocket was found 40 meters from the epicenter of the impact, which indicates its high power. At the time of the shelling, there were about 4,000 people at the station waiting to be evacuated.
