"I heard two explosions. I ran towards the wall to avoid myself. Bloody people entered the station, and there were bodies all over the ground."
Natalia, who met with AFP news agency at the Kramatorsk train station in the eastern Ukraine, Donetsk Province, told the situation when the Russian missile was dropped on the morning of the 8th.
Resident Yelena Callemonba, who was waiting for the train inside the station at the same time, told the Washington Post (WP), "There were people everywhere. There were broken limbs, flesh and bones everywhere."
"The explosion shattered windows and shattered debris into the waiting area filled with refugees," Kalenmonba said. "An old man lost a leg and another lost a head."
The time the Russian missile fell was 10:30 a.m. that day.
Thousands of civilians, including women and children, were waiting at the train station for the first train to the Midwest to escape Russian airstrikes.
Refugees have been flocking to the train station in recent days as authorities warn that a Russian attack is imminent.
This was because Russia was intensifying its offensive to take full control of the Donbas region, a strategic stronghold of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine.
However, many of the refugees died before they even made it to the evacuation route.
