Russian MoD spokesman Igor Konashenkov told reporters that “as a result of a direct strike by an Iskander missile on a military echelon at the Chaplino railway station in the Dnepropetrovsk region, more than 200 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and 10 units of military equipment were destroyed as they were on their way to the combat zone in Donbass,” Sputnik reported.
He added that a separate "high-precision strike by the Russian Aerospace Forces near the Novy Bug settlement in the Nikolayev region destroyed a command post of the Kakhovka grouping of Ukrainian troops”. As a result, 64 Ukrainian soldiers were killed, according to Konashenkov.
The developments come after Reuters cited Kiev officials as arguing that 25 civilians were purportedly killed in a Russian missile strike on a railway station in eastern Ukraine.
