Russian strike on passenger buses in Kramatorsk kills dozens
Russian forces struck two passenger buses in Kramatorsk, Donetsk Oblast, on the morning of 8 October, killing at least 12 people in initial reports and as many as 33 in later updates. Donetsk Oblast Governor Vadym Filashkin reported a revised toll of 30 dead and 18 wounded during the day, with figures still subject to clarification. The attack triggered a suspension of public transport in Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, evacuation appeals, an official war-crime investigation, and condemnation from the European Commission and Switzerland.
