and coming up at half past seven we ll have a round up of the day s action in sportsday. good evening and welcome to bbc news. police in the republic of ireland have named the ten people who were killed by an explosion at a petrol station in a village in county donegal. the victims include a 39 year old woman and her 13 year old son, and 50 year old man and his 5 year old daughter. police also confirmed that a man in his 20s remains in hospital in a critical condition. seven other people who were injured in the explosion are still being treated in hospital and remain in a stable condition. our ireland correspondent, chris page has been at the scene. this has been a day when this community has been contemplating the scale of the losses that occurred here in a split second on friday afternoon. as you could see behind me the petrol station where the explosion happened is less busy, they are now just two police vehicles there, the ambulances and fire engines have gone as the in
new satellite images showing the damage from above. but despite that today russia says it is starting to resume some car and train service there. let s go to cnn international security editor nick paton walsh live for us in ukraine. the message ukraine is sending with this latest attack? reporter: yes, we don t have public recognition from ukraine they were behind this but russian president vladimir putin recently heard from the head of his investigative committee they believe the ukrainian secret service or special services were behind this attack with the assistance of some foreigners. they referred to it as a terrorist attack on the civilian infrastructure of russia. now obviously i should point out while civilians do use the bridge, it has been used to deliver supplies and equipment for russia s invasion of ukraine. clearly a move of significant public issue for vladimir putin. he s called tomorrow publicly he will be meeting with members of his security council. that i
happened. a massive explosion on a bridge that dealt a major blow to russia s military supply capabilitying. ukraine has not claimed responsibility for that damage, but an aide to presukraine s president said this may be an act of retaliation. here s a view of the explosion we didn t see yesterday. russian officials say three people were killed in all of this. nick paton walsh joins me now. it looks like russian retaliation. what more can you tell us? reporter: certainly, the strike in zaporizhzhia, we now know the death toll to be 13 with over 80 people injured. hundreds of rescuers are still working at the site of the apartment block that was hit by six cruise missiles dropped by a strategic bomber, and also an su-35 attack jet. also, some anti-aircraft missiles, s-300s according to ukrainian officials involved, a sign that russia s inventory is getting low. is it retaliation? i should point out, zaporizhzhia where this occurred is being hit over the last week repeatedly,
civilians. nothing much has changed on that front. reporter: it s an utterly ghastly scene. hundreds of rescuers combing through the damage to the apartment blocks where we now know the death poll to be 13, 80 people injured. bare this in mind, totally innocent civilian block by what appears to have been six cruise missiles and possibly 16 anti-aircraft missiles, fired by a strategic bomber and stealth jet flying into ukraine. the cruise missiles frequently used across ukraine. antiaircraft missiles being deployed because the inventory of other missiles is depleted. this isn t the first time zaporizhzhia has been hit, jim. this week it s one of a number of attacks we ve seen. it forms part of a pattern that ukrainians say is indiscriminate bombing against civilian targets. some wonder if this is retaliation for the attack on the bridge, the vital part of the russian frvgt that feeds the occupation of crimea, the ukrainian peninsula they illegally annexed in 2014. zaporizhzh
