The attack in the Donetsk region is the deadliest reported incident in the available global news coverage and underscores the continuing escalation of Russia’s campaign against Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. Reports said the strike hit near passenger buses in Kramatorsk, while other Russian attacks, including one in Pryluky, prompted rescue operations and increased casualties. The latest violence follows missile strikes that reportedly killed 22 people the previous day, intensifying pressure on Ukraine’s air defenses and energy system.
