At least 30 people, including two children, were killed after Russian forces carried out a missile strike on a railway station in eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk, according to authorities.

Local police said in a statement that the rockets struck a temporary waiting room, where "hundreds of people were waiting for the evacuation train."

Some 8,000 people per day were going to the station to evacuate during the last two weeks and as many as 4,000 people were there when the missile struck, according to the mayor of Kramatorsk.
