⚡️💥🔎 Strike on the #Chaplino railway station⚡️
by Rybar: #AFRF attacked this railway station in the #Dnipropetrovsk region yesterday. The #Ukrainian authorities blamed #Russia for the attack on a passenger train and claimed that several dozen civilians were killed.

However, Kiev was in no particular hurry to provide evidence of the "bloody crime". There was only one photo from the station, in which observers recognised a military truck 👇 on the platform of a supposed passenger train, which was captured in the picture.

Today, the doubts have finally been dispelled: a video
of the scene immediately after the attack has appeared on the net, clearly showing platforms with cargo and equipment covered with tarp. This confirms that the target was a military train.
