What happened
Two city buses were hit on a street in Kramatorsk, in Ukraine's Donetsk region, killing at least 30 people and wounding 18, local authorities said, according to Al Jazeera citing AFP and Reuters.
Glide bomb
Police said a glide bomb was used. Such weapons are less precise than ballistic missiles, so it is unclear whether the buses were the intended target, Al Jazeera's correspondent noted.
Kyiv's reaction
President Volodymyr Zelensky said the strike would not go unanswered. The Donetsk governor accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilians; Russia has not commented in the cited reports.
Pryluky strikes
Separately, Zelensky visited Pryluky with UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband after a barrage that killed 22 civilians, Kyiv Post reported.
