Russian missile strikes have hit the airport in the central-eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro and a village in the region, the head of the regional military administration, Valentyn Reznichenko, said on Telegram today.
“There has been another attack on Dnipro airport. It had been completely ruined already, both the airport and infrastructure nearby. But missiles keep flying,” Reznichenko said.
He added that an infrastructure facility had been hit in Zvonetske, adding that the authorities were trying to get more information about the damage and casualties.
A day after more than 50 people died in a missile strike on a train station in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk people attempted to pick up the pieces.
The bodies of the dead were soon removed from the scene but you could see the dried blood and some evidence of human remains 24 hours later.
The uncollected travel bags of those who did not survive had been gathered together and lay in an empty ticket office.
Sergei, a volunteer with the Ukrainian Army, is used to death. He’s been recovering the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers killed in battle.
But on Friday, he was having to gather the corpses and the remains of unarmed civilians – the innocents of this war. He has no doubt that Russia is to blame for the attack that has left more than 50 people dead and many more injured.
Watching mothers grieve over children killed in the blast had clearly taken its toll on Sergei.
“When you see our future, the future of Ukraine being killed, you can’t control your emotions,” he said. He calls it a genocide.
“You just don’t understand the motivation of the people who did this. What was this for?”
