At 10:30 am (0830 GMT), the station was struck by a Tochka-U missile, which according to experts was armed with cluster munitions. Sixty-one people were killed and more than 160 injured, the mayor’s office has said.

The bombing is one several alleged war crimes blamed on Russia since the start of the war.

In October 2022, digital investigators from the Centre for Information Resilience (CIR), a non-governmental organisation, said its evidence pointed to 'Russia being the likely perpetrator'. CIR identified three launch sites in Russian-occupied territory, suggesting the missile probably came from Shakhtne village, east of Donetsk city.

Russia has denied responsibility, claiming it does not have the type of Tochka-U missile used, calling it a 'provocation' by Ukraine.
