According to the Kramatorsk City Council, Russian forces targeted a public bus operating in the city. The vehicle was carrying passengers at the time of the strike.
Casualty figures later rose. Filashkin reported that as of 11:10 a.m., official records confirmed 12 dead and 14 injured. Authorities continue to clarify the aftermath of the attack.
