Russian Strike on Passenger Buses Kills 30 in Kramatorsk, Ukraine Says
- On Thursday, October 8, 2026, a Russian glide bomb struck two passenger buses in Kramatorsk, killing at least 33 people and wounding 18, according to local authorities.
- Kramatorsk serves as a vital military logistics hub within Ukraine's eastern 'fortress belt,' situated about 15 kilometers from the front line, making it a strategic target for Russian forces.
- Donetsk regional governor Vadym Filashkin ordered public transport halted in Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, stating, "We have no right to risk the lives of passengers and drivers."
- Filashkin accused Moscow of deliberately targeting civilians, saying, "For them, a bus with passengers is an attractive target precisely because one strike can kill as many people as possible."
- The strike follows a Wednesday missile attack in Pryluky that killed 22 people, signaling an intensifying aerial war as winter approaches and Russian attacks surge across Ukraine.
