Witnesses described scenes of horror and chaos at the main train station in Kramatorsk.
Burned-out cars sit outside a train station in Kramatorsk, eastern Ukraine, that was being used for civilian evacuations, after it was hit by a missile strike on April 8, 2022.
Washington Post reporters arrived at the train station in Kramatorsk, a city in the Donetsk region, about 15 minutes after the attack and counted at least 20 dead, including children. A large piece of a missile had landed about 100 yards from the building entrance. On one side, the words “for the children” were written in Russian.
“There were people everywhere. Torn-off limbs, flesh, bone, pieces of people everywhere,” said Yelena Khalenmonva, a local resident who was inside the station waiting for a train when she heard the blasts.The explosions shattered the train station windows, sending glass shards into a waiting area packed with evacuees, including women and children, Khalenmonva said.
“How could they hit the train station when they knew so many civilians were here?” he said while waiting for treatment inside a hospital.The wounded were ferried to two separate medical facilities in Kramatorsk, including Town Hospital Number 3. There, medical staff struggled to cope with more than 40 casualties, including many with catastrophic injuries from shrapnel. All five of their operating rooms were full.
