Ukraine says at least one killed in Russian attack on Kherson rail station

Ukrainian authorities say Russian shelling of a train station kills a police officer and injures four others.

Ukrainian officials say at least one person has been killed and four others injured in a Russian attack on a rail station in the southern city of Kherson, as Russia’s invasion continues to take a heavy toll on Ukrainian civilians.

Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenk said the Russian shelling struck the rail station on Tuesday as about 140 people there were preparing for an evacuation, killing a policeman.

“Thanks to the clear actions of the police, everyone was successfully taken to safe places,” Klymenko said on Telegram.

“Unfortunately, a police lieutenant from the Kirovohrad region lost his life due to the shelling … Two more police officers are in the hospital with shrapnel wounds.”
