One person has been killed and 10 others, including two children were wounded in what Ukrainian officials say was Russia’s largest air assault on the town of Lozova since the conflict began.
According to state rail operator Ukrzaliznytsia, the early morning "massive strike" hit key infrastructure in the Kharkiv region town, including the train station. The town, a vital transport hub near the Russian border, also suffered power and water outages.
Photos released by emergency responders showed a damaged train and debris strewn across the platform.
Serhiy Zelenskyy, head of Lozova’s town council, said the attack caused severe damage to critical infrastructure, residential buildings, and private homes.
“Lozova has endured the biggest attack since the start of the war,” he wrote on Telegram.
Ukrzaliznytsia confirmed that one employee was killed and four others injured. Emergency services reported a total of 10 wounded people.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia used more than 25 drones in the strike, targeting civilian infrastructure such as a station and a depot.
Ukraine’s air force reported shooting down 29 of the 46 drones launched across the country, but said one ballistic missile and 17 drones managed to hit multiple targets.
Reuters was unable to independently verify the casualty figures or extent of the damage. Russia has not yet commented.
Both Moscow and Kyiv continue to deny intentionally targeting civilians since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022.
