More killed in Kramatorsk as Russia targets Ukraine's transportation system

Al Jazeera

Is the war entering a new phase? More killed in Kramatorsk as Russia targets Ukraine's transportation system Share'New tactic': Russia expands deadly attacks on Ukraine's transport system on social media Russian glide bomb hits buses in Ukraine's Kramatorsk, killing at least 30 A Russian glide bomb struck two passenger buses in the eastern Ukrainian town of Kramatorsk on Thursday morning, killing at least 30 people and wounding 18, regional authorities said. Ukrainian officials said the attack was deliberate. When dropped from planes on the Russian side of the front line, such bombs can glide to fixed coordinates on the ground, in this case, a street in the town that lies about 20 kilometres (12.4 miles) from the front line. "For them, a bus full of passengers is an attractive target precisely because a single strike can kill the maximum number of people."

The border guards started running around and shouting Run! Get out of the carriages! A Russian drone had just hit a locomotive near the same border, and a special train carrying former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and other European dignitaries, had passed through minutes before.

'We lost over 1,000': Why some passengers were hit harder than others by air traffic chaos

BBC News

Catie and Phil Allen should have been enjoying their first holiday in two-and-a-half years. Instead, they are at home ringing round for refunds that won't be paid. The couple are among the many thousands of air passengers caught up in the chaos caused by the four-hour shutdown of the UK's air traffic control system on Tuesday. It means their holiday to Slovenia has been cancelled and - although their flight was refunded by British Airways - they estimate being left £1,300 out of pocket from unused accommodation and excursions. It's not the first time - and won't be the last - when passengers are left flying on a wing and a prayer after problems at UK airports. So, here is how their case relates to others, and why they have taken such a big hit.
