Russian Bomb Attack on Kramatorsk Kills at Least 33, Wounds 18

A Russian bomb strike on the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk killed at least 33 people and wounded 18 others, authorities reported on Thursday. The attack occurred on a street where two city buses were operating, according to police, and President Volodymyr Zelensky described the location as a bus stop. Regional governor Vadym Filashkin said on Telegram that the strike was deliberately aimed at civilians, stating that a bus with passengers is an attractive target because one strike can kill as many people as possible. Police images showed bodies scattered across a debris-covered street and the charred remains of what appeared to be a bus. The assault is one of the largest single attacks this year in the key stronghold sought by Moscow. Authorities characterized it as a targeted strike on civilians.
