8 Oct
Summary
- A Russian attack on a bus killed 12 people in Kramatorsk.
- Fourteen others were injured in the deadly strike near the front line.
- Authorities are determining the final casualty count from the incident.
A deadly Russian assault on a civilian bus in Kramatorsk, a key city in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region, has claimed the lives of at least 12 people and left 14 others injured. The attack occurred near the front lines, with authorities confirming the grim toll and posting images of the destruction.
Kramatorsk remains a crucial logistics and supply hub for Ukrainian forces and is part of a defended 'fortress belt.' Russian forces have advanced close to the city's eastern edge, prompting calls for civilian evacuation to safer regions.
The Kramatorsk City Council condemned the act as another horrific crime against civilians, stating that no military targets were present. Separately, a Russian missile attack on a residential building in Pryluky, northern Ukraine, has risen to 22 deaths, including five children.
Meanwhile, in Russia, a drone attack caused a fire at a Yandex data center in the Ryazan region. This incident follows a pattern of intensified long-range strikes by both nations, with Kyiv reportedly claiming responsibility for the Yandex facility strike.
