This strike by the Russian troops eliminated more than 200 reservists moving to Donbas, reported Russian state-owned news agency TASS.

The spokesman was quoted by the news agency as saying: “A direct hit by an Iskander missile against a troop train at the Chaplyne railway station in the Dnepropetrovsk Region eliminated over 200 reservists of the Ukrainian army and 10 pieces of military equipment bound for the Donbass combat area.”

However, the attack is also said to have resulted in the death of 25 people, including children, according to Kyiv.
