Strong evidence indicates that an April 8 missile attack on the train station in Kramatorsk in eastern Ukraine that killed 58 fleeing civilians and wounded 100 was launched from Russia-controlled territory and represents an "apparent war crime," New York-based Human Rights Watch said in a joint report with the SITU Research group. The February 21 report said the ballistic missile that targeted the station was filled with banned cluster munitions that dispersed dozens of small bomblets. Russia has denied involvement in the attack, one of the deadliest involving civilians since its invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
