The incident took place in a city located in the eastern part of Donetsk, close to the front line. Accounts agree that two vehicles used to transport passengers were hit.
The toll reported by various sources is at least 30 people killed and 18 injured. The figures refer to the consequences of the attack on the buses.
According to the Ukrainian authorities, the raid was carried out by Russia. The available sources report this attribution, but provide no independent verification of responsibility or Russian response to the incident.
After the attack, public transportation in Kramatorsk was suspended. The suspension was reported by multiple sources, without further information on the operational reasons for the decision.
The number of victims is not, however, consistent across reports. BBC News reported 33 deaths, while Tagesschau, The Guardian, Deutsche Welle, France 24 and Euronews indicated at least 30 victims; the available material does not clarify whether the difference is due to subsequent updates or different official counts.
The confirmed picture therefore includes the attack on the two buses, the reported deaths and injuries, as well as the suspension of city transportation. The final toll and responsibility remain to be distinguished: Ukrainian authorities attribute the attack to Russia, but this has not been independently verified in the available sources.
