The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) spokesperson Artem Dekhtiarenko said on May 21 that the SBU “got indisputable evidence” that Russia was behind the attack on the Kramatorsk railway station that killed 61 and injured 121 people on April 8.

Although Dekhtiarenko did not specify the name of the settlement, the earlier report by the Conflict Intelligence Team stated the missile was allegedly launched from the Russian-occupied Shakhtarsk in Donetsk Oblast.
