Police said the attack took place on a street where two city buses were operating, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the location as a bus stop.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>\u201cThese are not &#8216;the consequences of war&#8217;, nor dry statistics.

Russia has demanded that Ukraine surrender the remaining parts of the region under Kyiv&#8217;s control as a condition for ending the war, a demand Ukraine has rejected.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>How Russia&#8217;s <keyword id=\"38027105\" type=\"Denny\" weightage=\"20\" keywordseo=\"glide-bombs\" source=\"keywords\">glide bombs<\/keyword> are changing the war<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The war has highlighted the growing importance of autonomous systems and stand-off weapons, with Russia making extensive use of glide bombs. Unlike conventional unguided bombs, glide bombs use aerodynamic surfaces, including deployable wings, to extend their range after being released from aircraft.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Guidance systems combining satellite and inertial navigation allow the weapons to hit targets with tactical accuracy while aircraft such as Russia&#8217;s Su-34 and Su-35 fighters can release them from well inside Russian-controlled territory. <!-- -->This keeps Russian aircraft farther from Ukraine&#8217;s air-defence systems.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Russia uses conversion kits such as the Unified Gliding and Correction Module, or UMPK, to turn Soviet-era FAB-500 and FAB-1500 bombs into precision glide weapons. It has also developed purpose-built weapons such as the UMPB, which has improved aerodynamics and a range approaching 90km. Their relatively low cost allows Russia to use them at scale while carrying large explosive warheads.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
