Attack on a civilian object. The blow of the Russian Federation on Chaplin station has all the signs of a war crime - AP

The shelling of the Russian railway station in Dnipropetrovsk, which causes more than 20 people, has all the signs of a war crime, writes Associated Press. The aggressor country stated that she fired a passenger train because he allegedly transported Ukrainian military and equipment. The AP journalist who visited the attack on the attack did not see confirmation for these statements. He made sure that among the dead were children.

Video of the Day "Railway Station is usually a civil object and should not be the object of impact,"-said Jennifer Frakhan, Professor of the Center for International Relations of New York University. Even if there were several soldiers among the dead, such an attack still violates the laws of war because it causes disproportionate harm to civilian population, AP writes.

"To kill a large number of civilians for the sake of killing a small number of military people is a military crime," said Michael Newton, an American professor at the University of Vanderbill. According to a former British military intelligence officer Frank Levid, the Chaplin strike was purposeful, and his most likely purpose was to attempt to break the railway connection. On Independence Day, on August 24, the invaders struck a series of rocket strokes on Chaplin.

The missiles hit a private house and railway infrastructure, in particular, at the station where several passenger cars were burned as a result of the explosion and cars parked nearby. According to the latest data, 25 people were killed, two of them were killed. 31 - was injured. The 11-year-old boy was killed under the rubble of the house, a six-year-old child-during a fire in a car near the station.
