Russian strike on buses kills at least 30, say officials, as deadly attacks on Ukraine surge

At least 30 people were killed and 18 others wounded on Thursday when a Russian glide bomb struck two civilian buses at a public transport stop in Kramatorsk, eastern Ukraine. Regional governor Vadym Filashkin and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilians, leading to an immediate suspension of public transport in Kramatorsk and Slovyansk. This attack follows a significant surge in civilian casualties across Ukraine, including a strike in Pryluky the previous day that killed 22 people. While Ukrainian officials characterized the event as a war crime, Russia has generally denied targeting civilians, though it has not yet commented on this specific incident.
