A recent missile strike in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region has resulted in at least 22 fatalities and over 300 injuries, revealing the ongoing devastation of Russia's offensive. The attack targeted crucial infrastructures such as educational and medical facilities and a passenger train. Eyewitness accounts highlight the chaos and desperation following the strike. UN human rights monitors deemed the civilian casualties predictable, citing the use of ballistic missiles in populated areas. Meanwhile, Ukraine's military asserts that it has successfully halted Russian advances in the northeast despite continued shelling attacks in the Sumy region.
"The timing alone made the high number of civilian casualties entirely foreseeable," she added.
"Everything was shattered... There were so many people that even the train conductor had to carry someone's baby," a passenger from the damaged train told RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service shortly after the attack.
