The attacks mark an escalation targeting civilians as well as energy infrastructure, prompting evacuations, transport suspensions, Ukrainian counterstrikes and rising diplomatic alarm.

  • Local officials say a glide bomb struck buses in Kramatorsk on Thursday, killing about 30–33 people and wounding roughly 18, with bodies and burning wreckage shown by authorities.
  • Rescue teams at Priluki confirmed at least 22 dead after a multi‑storey residential block collapsed when, according to President Zelenski, a Kh‑101 cruise missile hit the building.
  • Ukrainian officials report wider Russian strikes across multiple regions that damaged power plants, transmission lines and bridges, causing power outages and transport disruption.
