BREAKING: Russia Denies Striking Train Station at Kramatorsk - Inside Russia Report
The Russian defense ministry has denied claims coming from Kiev that one of its missiles targeted a train station in a Ukrainian held Donbass city. At least 30 civilians were reportedly killed and over 100 injured in the incident on Friday in Kramatorsk.
Kiev officials immediately claimed the strike involved a Russian missile, either an Iskander or a Tochka U. The Russian military stated it had no operations planned for the Kramatorsk area for Friday and called the accusations “a provocation that has absolutely no relation to reality.”
A spokesperson added that images shared by witnesses show debris from a Tochka U missile, a weapon system that “only Ukrainian forces use.”

An attack on a train station in Kramatorsk, eastern Ukraine, has reportedly killed at least 30 people. Kiev immediately accused Russia of being responsible while Moscow-backed local forces have blamed the Ukrainian military for the deaths.
Images from the scene show emergency services dealing with a fire near the contested city’s central station, with what appeared to be bodies of people scattered around.
A photo of what appears to be part of a missile lying on the ground was circulated on social media. The projectile had a note “for the children” painted on it in Russian.

Russia's defence ministry said on Monday that 20 civilians had been killed and 28 wounded when a Ukrainian missile with a cluster charge exploded in the separatist-controlled city of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.
The ministry provided no evidence and Ukraine denied launching an attack, which came as Russian forces were shelling the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and other cities more than two weeks after invading.
