The attack struck two civilian or passenger buses in Kramatorsk, in eastern Ukraine. The most cautious toll reported by multiple sources is at least 30 dead and 18 injured.
The number of victims, however, remains unconfirmed. BBC News, Al Jazeera and the Times of India reported a toll of 33 dead, while other outlets put the number of victims at 30; the difference may reflect separate updates, but the available data do not make it possible to establish the final count.
After the attack, public transportation in Kramatorsk was suspended. The measure was reported by sources citing local authorities and the city council.
Available sources attribute the strike to Russia and agree that two buses were hit in the Donetsk region. The material provided, however, contains no independent verification of responsibility for the attack.
According to BBC News, Ukraine accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilians with the aim of killing as many of them as possible. This is an accusation reported by the outlet, not a conclusion independently established by the available data.
The description of the weapon used also remains uncertain. Only the Times of India described the attack as an action carried out with a Russian glide bomb, while the other sources examined did not specify the type of weapon.
The incident adds a massacre with numerous civilian victims to the sequence of reported attacks in eastern Ukraine. In Kramatorsk, the immediate documented impact was the loss of at least 30 lives, 18 people injured and the suspension of public transportation, while the final toll and independent determination of responsibility remain unresolved.
