The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights called it "today's horrifying strike hitting two public buses" that "could amount to war crimes"; the Security Council was briefed the next day ("at least 33"). Three more were killed the same day in Bilenke.

Direct attack on civilians — established CAH — pattern

Russia said. Nothing by name. The next day at the Security Council Amb. Nebenzia said Ukraine targets "civilian buses… time and time again" — a mirror claim, one week after the MFA alleged "216 buses" attacked by Ukraine.
