1 Dead, 4 Wounded In Russian Strike On Kherson Train Station, Says Ukrainian Interior Minister

By RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service, AFP December 26, 2023

A Russian strike on a train station in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson has killed at least one person and wounded four others, the Ukrainian interior minister said on December 26.

Ihor Klymenko said that the attack killed at least one person and wounded four others. The train station was filled with about 140 civilians waiting for an evacuation train at the time of the attack.

Ukraine's national railway operator said the station and trains were damaged in the attack.

"Currently, several injured workers are known. Passengers are in shelter," Ukrzaliznytsia added.

The company planned to transfer the passengers to buses that would take them to Mykolayiv, where reserve railway cars were waiting.

"The situation is under control, the railway workers are ready to continue moving," Ukrzaliznytsia said.

The head of the regional military administration, Oleksandr Prokudin, said Russian shelling of the region during the day on December 26 left three dead and several wounded. It was unclear whether this included the attack on the train station.
