On October 8, 2023, the Russian military conducted an attack on two buses in the frontline city of Kramatorsk, Ukraine, resulting in the deaths of 30 people. President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed that the attack would not go unanswered, warning that the death toll could rise. The buses were struck with a glide bomb, and three additional individuals were killed in a nearby village due to shelling.
Russia is accused of deliberately targeting civilians, according to Donetsk Governor Vadym Filashkin, who accused Moscow of disregarding every rule of warfare and international humanitarian law. The Kramatorsk City Council labeled the incident as "yet another horrific crime committed by the Russian army against the civilian population."
