Attack occurred at train station

Three people, including a child, were killed in an attack on a train station in Kyiv overnight, Ukrainian officials say. The attack took place at around 3:30 am local time. It is not clear who was responsible for the attack. This marks the second attack on a train station in less than a week, with the previous attack taking place in the city of Chortkiv and resulting in the death of at least 20 people.

Ukrainian officials respond

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to the attack, as he usually does, by posting on social media. He states: "During the night, Russian terrorists carried out a massive attack on Kyiv's central train station. Three innocent people, including a child, were killed. Ukrainians will not be broken by this. We will take revenge for every innocent life taken!"

Impact on civilians

The attack on the central train station has had a significant impact on civilians, as many people use the train station to evacuate, especially now that the war has escalated. For many, this attack serves as a reminder of the conflict's impact on civilian populations, even those who are attempting to flee the violence. The attack was met with outrage and sadness, with many Ukrainians expressing their frustration at the targeting of innocent children.
