MADRID, 24 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

At least 15 people have died and another 50 have been injured by the impact of several missiles at a train station in the Dnipropetrovsk region, in eastern Ukraine, according to the country's president, Volodimir Zelenski, who has blamed Russian forces.

Zelenski has denounced this attack during a telematic appearance before the UN Security Council, warning that there were still several cars on fire and the emergency services were still working in the area.

"The death toll may increase," he said, according to a video shared on his Telegram account and collected by the UNIAN news agency.

The Ukrainian authorities, who feared that Russia would take advantage of the commemoration of Independence Day on Wednesday to redouble its attacks, have warned of several operations in different parts of the country.

In the west, in the Khmelnitsky region, there have been several explosions that, according to Belarusian opposition activists, derive from projectiles launched from neighboring Belarus. Specifically, they speak of at least four missiles, reports the DPA agency.

Bombings have also been confirmed in Yitomir, while in Dnipropetrovsk, an eleven-year-old boy has died from the impact of a missile on a house. Alert sounds have been a constant in different parts of Ukraine.
