Russia said it targeted a military train and claimed to have killed more than 200 Ukrainian reservists.
The bloodshed came as Ukraine was braced for attacks tied to the national holiday and war's six-month mark, both of which fell on Wednesday. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had warned that Russia might "try to do something particularly nasty, something particularly cruel" this week.
The lethal train-station strike in Chaplyne, a town of about 3,500 in the central Dnipropetrovsk region, served as a painful reminder of Russia's continued ability to inflict large-scale suffering six months into the war.
Wednesday's national holiday celebrated Ukraine's 1991 declaration of independence from the Soviet Union.
The dead included an 11-year-old boy found under the rubble of a house and a 6-year-old killed in a car fire near the train station, authorities said.
84-year-old Svitlana Kibits was in her house when the area was struck.
"The strike was such a powerful strike that I started crying. Everything started falling down. The windows were blown out," she said.
