Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Russian shelling of the Chaplyne train station in Ukraine\u2019s central Dnipropetrovsk region killed at least 22 people on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.<\/p>\n

Zelensky said in an evening video address that \u201cfive of the dead were recovered from a car on the railway track, and search and rescue operations are ongoing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChaplyne is our pain today,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Over 50 people were injured in the shelling, according to earlier information. It\u2019s not possible to independently verify the details.<\/p>\n

The attack came the same day Ukraine marked 31years of independence and six months since Russia started its invasion.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is almost night, our main day, Independence Day of Ukraine, is coming to an end. But our independence doesn\u2019t end and will never end,\u201d Zelensky said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Train stations and rail infrastructure have been repeatedly hit during the war between Ukraine and Russia.<\/p>\n

In April, at least 57 people died in an attack on the Kramatorsk station in the eastern Donbass region.<\/p>\n

Russia attacked Ukraine on February 24, but after failing to make advances on the capital Kiev, Moscow pulled back to concentrate on taking the separatist-dominated areas in the east and the south of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
