> Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday that there would be a response to a Russian strike on two buses in frontline Kramatorsk, which killed 30 people and wounded 18. France 24's Andrew Hilliar said the strike came amid a growing number of Russian attacks on civilians. UN figures show more civilians had been killed in Ukraine by August this year than in all of 2025.
