00:00 This train station in the southern city of Kherson was hit by a deadly Russian strike
00:04 Tuesday evening.
00:06 Ukraine's interior minister said on telegram around 140 civilians were fleeing the city
00:12 and waiting for an evacuation train when the missile hit.
00:16 "There has been a report on the shelling of Kherson.
00:20 A Russian attack on a train station, an evacuation train.
00:25 All services are now on the spot.
00:28 The number of dead and injured is being established.
00:31 There were many civilians on the spot.
00:34 All updates will be provided by the relevant services."
00:40 Russian Defence Minister Sheigu also informed that his forces had gained full control of
00:45 Marinka, a southeastern city in the Donetsk region.
00:48 At his first wartime press conference since March 2022, Ukraine's commander of armed forces
00:54 Valery Zaluzhny denied this, saying that his troops had withdrawn to the outskirts of the
00:59 town.
01:00 But he admitted that Marinka was now in ruins after months of fighting with Russian troops.
01:06 "Marinka has resisted for almost two years, first street by street, then house by house.
01:16 And now our troops are in its northern part.
01:18 Our troops have prepared a line of defence outside this locality.
01:24 But I can say that this town no longer exists."
01:30 Though progress may be slow on the front, Ukrainian forces have conducted numerous air
01:35 strikes in the Black Sea targeting the Russian fleet.
01:39 Their most recent attack on Tuesday hit a Russian landing ship off the coast of Crimea
01:44 using plane-guided missiles.
01:46 An air strike which the Kremlin confirmed had indeed damaged one of its warships.
