Strike on Ukrainian public buses leaves 30 dead as blackouts worsen in Kyiv

A Russian guided bomb struck near two city buses in Kramatorsk, eastern Ukraine, on Thursday, resulting in at least 30 deaths and 18 injuries. The attack was part of a broader wave of strikes, including a fatal apartment building bombing in Pryluky the previous day. Ukraine responded by targeting a major Russian oil refinery in Omsk and a Yandex data center, while Ukrainian officials accused Moscow of deliberately targeting civilians to force city evacuations. Russia continues to deny targeting civilians, characterizing its operations as strikes against military and infrastructure targets.
