At least 30 people were killed and 18 injured in Russian strikes on eastern Ukraine that included an attack on public buses in Kramatorsk, authorities said Thursday. CNN and Al Jazeera reported a death toll of at least 33, while NPR and CBS News put the toll at 30.
Vadym Filashkin, head of the Donetsk regional military administration, said public transportation was suspended in Kramatorsk and neighboring Sloviansk because of worsening security. He accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilians.
The attack followed a missile strike Wednesday on a residential building in the northern town of Pryluky. NPR reported that the death toll there had risen to 22, including five children, with at least 54 people injured as rescuers continued searching the rubble.
Russian drone strikes hit Kyiv’s Obolonskyi and Desnianskyi districts late Wednesday, killing four people and injuring 12, including four children, Kyiv police said. Emergency power outages were also imposed in the capital amid intensified attacks on Ukraine ahead of winter.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that missile and drone attacks could increase as winter approaches and appealed to NATO countries for additional air-defense equipment, ammunition and investment in interceptor systems.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: One sentence needs its connection to the eastern Ukraine attack loosened to match the NPR source. - "Additional Russian drone strikes hit Kyiv’s Obolonskyi and Desnianskyi districts late Wednesday, killing four people and injuring 12, including four children, Kyiv police said.": The sources say the drone strikes occurred late Wednesday, but not that they were additional to the Kramatorsk strikes; the wording could misleadingly connect them as part of the same eastern Ukraine strike sequence.
