More than 30 people were killed and over 100 were wounded Friday in a Russian rocket attack on a railroad station in eastern Ukraine — where civilians were trying to evacuate to safer parts of the country, officials said.

“Two rockets hit Kramatorsk railway station,” Ukrainian Railways said in a statement.

“According to operational data, more than 30 people were killed and more than 100 were wounded,” it added.

The railroad station was being used for the evacuation of civilians from areas under bombardment by Russian forces, according to Reuters, which said it could not independently confirm the deadly strike.

Pavlo Kyrylenko, the governor of the Donetsk region, said thousands of people had been at the station at the time of the attack.

“The ‘Rashists’ (‘Russian fascists’) knew very well where they were aiming and what they wanted: they wanted to sow panic and fear, they wanted to take as many civilians as possible,” he said.
