Overview
- Local and national authorities reported that a glide bomb struck two public buses in Kramatorsk on Thursday, killing at least 30–33 people and wounding about 18, with photos and prosecutor statements identifying the munition as a glide bomb.
- Rescue teams and Ukraine’s emergency service said a Kh‑101 cruise missile hit a five‑story residential block in Priluki the day before, raising the death toll there to 22, including children, and leaving dozens injured.
- Ukrainian officials say coordinated Russian missile and drone raids also hit Kyiv and multiple regions, damaging energy facilities and transport infrastructure and causing new power outages as winter approaches.
- Kyiv reported limited strikes inside Russia on facilities in Samara and Astrakhan during the same period, signaling a reciprocal pattern of targeting between the two sides and a widening geographic reach of attacks.
- Ukrainian leaders and some Western figures called the strikes deliberate attacks on civilians and urged more air‑defence support, while the Kremlin denied intentionally targeting civilians and diplomatic pressure intensified.
