Residents of Kramatorsk today laid flowers at a memorial at the city’s central railway station in Donbass, where a Russian Tochka-U missile carrying cluster munitions killed 61 people a year ago as thousands of civilians gathered to try to escape.
On April 8, 2022, a Russian missile strike injured 160 people from a crowd that had gathered at the train station to evacuate the city in the face of advancing Russian troops.
It was one of the deadliest Russian attacks on civilians in the war in Ukraine.
Moscow denies any involvement in the attack.
Andriy Yermak, chief of staff of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, said on social media that Russian terrorists were responsible for the attack and that war criminals should be punished.
