On 24 August 2022, deliberate Russian strike on a railway station murders 25 innocent Ukrainians. On the Independence Day of Ukraine, Russian forces struck Chaplyne, damaging a railway station, a utility building, and a residential neighbourhood. Several passenger rail cars were set on fire and destroyed. Ukrainian sources described multiple rockets or missiles being used in several attacks. At least 25 people (including 2 children) were killed and about 31 were injured by the deliberate Russian strike. According to an Associated Press reporter on site, there was no visible indication that Ukrainian soldiers were among the victims. International legal experts said that the attack might qualify as a war crime if civilians were the target. Attacks on civilians in the Russian invasion of Ukraine - Wikipedia
