Russian Strike Kills Dozens On Ukrainian Public Buses In Kramatorsk

A Russian strike on Ukrainian public buses killed 30 people as blackouts worsened in Kyiv.

A Russian bomb attack on two civilian buses in Kramatorsk, eastern Ukraine, killed at least 33 people, making it the deadliest single strike this year. Another 18 people were injured in the attack. The Donetsk region's governor stated that a Russian guided bomb slammed into a street near two packed city buses. The strike prompted authorities to shut down the public transport system in Kramatorsk and urge people to move to safer parts of the country.

Kramatorsk is part of the fortress belt that Russia is trying to seize as part of President Vladimir Putin’s claim to the entire Ukrainian Donbas region.
