A Russian KAB glide-bomb strike on Kramatorsk, Donetsk Oblast, killed at least 33 civilians and injured 18 others. Two minibuses nearby were caught in the blast wave.
Separate shelling on the nearby village of Bilenke killed another 3 civilians. Public transport in both Slovyansk and Kramatorsk has since been halted.
Kramatorsk and Slovyansk should have had mandatory evacuation orders issued for civilians months ago, and yet somehow city authorities haven’t even shut down public transport yet.
