## Resource

A Russian drone strike on a Ukrainian passenger bus kills five and injures seven, prompting Zelenskyy to condemn it as an unprovoked atrocity targeting civilians — part of a broader pattern of attacks on transport infrastructure. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister reveals over 500 locomotives destroyed since the war began, with half hit this year, urging allies to help replace them using specific rail gauges. Zelenskyy also clarifies that any ceasefire on energy strikes hinges on Russia stopping all attacks on Ukraine’s power grid. Elsewhere, Russia honors a naval captain for firing flares at a Danish helicopter in the Baltic — an act Denmark protests — while a decorated Russian general, Anton Grunis, reportedly dies in occupied Donetsk from a Ukrainian drone strike.
